WE'RE delighted to officially launch our Christmas campaign for 2016 - Animal Crackers!
We want to give something back to the animals we adore so much - and we need your help to do it.
We want to collect food, toys and accessories for the animals that need them the most - and split it all between local animal charities, who work tirelessly to provide care to our furry friends.
We’re also going to raise money to split between the charities, to say thank you for all their hard work.
We’ll be running the campaign over the next month until Monday, December 19.
We’ve teamed up with local businesses to act as drop off points, where you can leave your donations for our furry friends.
All you have to do is take your donation into the drop off point, and we’ll do the rest.
So which charities will we be working with?
With your help on Facebook, we’ve chosen six worthy causes, and we’ll be featuring each of them in the run up to Chirstmas.
They are:
Barnsley and District Animal Welfare
Barnsley RSPCA
Royston Animal Welfare
