An East Cleveland animal shelter is hoping you will help them care for animals in need in this year’s Wish campaign.
Hope Animal Shelter is a privately-run shelter in Loftus, which rescues and cares for a variety of abandoned and stray animals.
They also offer their services to injured animals and offer a home for animals when their owners go on holiday.
Run by volunteers, the shelter receives no funding and relies heavily on donations from the public.
After entering The Gazette’s Wish campaign last year, the shelter used the money they received to help fund work on a block of stables, as well as general running costs including veterinary care and animal feed.
The money also went towards funding new fences which gives the animals more room to graze.
With regards to this year’s campaign, Clifford Spedding, from the shelter, said: “We intend to spend this year’s Wish money on vet bills, animal feed, materials for fences and to help finish off the stables.”
Every year, The Gazette’s Wish campaign gives away thousands of pounds to not-for-profit groups and organisations benefiting the Teesside community.
Each registered group will be guaranteed a share of our £40,000 fund.
The more tokens a group collects, the bigger its share of the prize pot. Tokens are now appearing daily in The Gazette.
The last token will appear on January 21.
Submissions for tokens will close at 5pm on Monday, February 23.
To help Hope Animal Shelter, send your tokens to: 1 White Cliffe Cottage, Loftus, Cleveland, TS13 4AN.
