‘Even if someone can only spare an hour or two, their time and efforts would be hugely appreciated’.
The Scottish SPCA is appealing to kind hearted people in Edinburgh and the Lothians to volunteer and help raise funds for abused, abandoned and injured animals.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity is urging locals to get involved in
its Rehoming Week, which runs from 2 – 8 May, by shaking a collection tin in their area.
Diane Aitchison, manager of the charity’s animal rescue and rehoming
centre in Balerno, said, “Every year our centre takes in and finds loving new homes for hundreds of neglected, mistreated and unwanted animals and 2016 is proving to be just as challenging.
“During Rehoming Week we have opportunities to fundraise throughout the area and we’d be very grateful if people who love animals can get behind our appeal and help.
“Door-to-door fundraising can be carried out between the Monday and
Friday of Rehoming Week, while people can hold street collections on the
Saturday.
“Even if someone can only spare an hour or two, their time and efforts
would be hugely appreciated.
“Giving up your spare time to help raise funds within your local community is an extremely kind gesture and one which will be of huge benefit to our work.”
Anyone who would like to help raise funds for the Scottish SPCA can contact the fundraising team on 03000 999 999 or email
