MAWS
Group? - never heard of us?.....
May
we introduce ourselves. We are the Metheringham
Animal Welfare Supporters group (MAWS for short).
We
are a group of friends who raise funds for animal charities and sanctuaries. All
are unpaid volunteers, no paid staff and no plush office (we work from home). If
a car is required, it is provided by a volunteer at their own expense. No
limousines here!
We
are all dedicated to the animals, and every penny raised must count. Our own
team will inspect to make sure that all beneficiaries are bona fide charities
and trusts before money or petfood etc. is handed over.
Although
we are a new charity group in our own right, we bring 13 years experience
working as a supporter group for the PDSA (People’s Dispensary for Sick
Animals), during which time we raised almost £29,000.
We
have now changed our “hat” to MAWS so that we can help other animal
charities, especially local ones. Funds raised during the period August 2000 to
August 2001 will mainly go to the Bransby Home for Horses, Weirfield Wildlife
Hospital, Retired Greyhound Trust, and the Lincolnshire Trust for Cats.
If
you would like to find out more, or if you think that you might be able to help
us in any way, please contact Joyce Muncey, 31 Station Road , Metheringham
(telephone 01526 321436)
P.S.
A couple of dates for your diary....there will be garden/outhouse sales at
Joyce’s on Saturday 14th April and Saturday 19th May from 10am to 4pm in both
cases. |
