Margaret Green Day a Roaring Success

Volunteers, members of the public, schools and businesses all got involved to fundraise yesterday on what would have been Margaret Green’s 100th birthday. One of the highlights of the day were the Mother Ukers, who performed in Falklands Square outside the Dolphin Shopping Centre in Poole to entertain shoppers and passers-by. The band, who are supporting us as their chosen charity have made a very special video of their song ‘Love Cats’  which you can view here. See if you can spot some of our animals too as the band spent a day filming at Church Knowle  earlier this month.

Other attractions at The Dolphin Shopping Centre, who are also supporting us this year, included a teddy tombola, pet photographs, foot massages and face painting. Visitors to Pets at Home Dorchester, Poole and Bournemouth could also get involved and buy a cake for charity and pupils and parents at the Bournemouth Collegiate Preparatory School supported Margaret Green Day by holding a book sale after school. Kate Cross, our Fundraising and Marketing Officer said “We’d like to say a huge thank you to all those who volunteered, fundraised or donated for our first ever Margaret Green Animal Relief Day. The day was a great success, we have raised Â£615.77 so far and we know there is more to come! If this has inspired you to organise your own fundraising event or activity, please get in touch and we can support you with a fundraising pack of your own.”
