Leaps and Bounds Appeal Launch
Location: Victoria Square, Birmingham City Centre Date: Tuesday 4th October 2011-World Animal Day Time: 12:00-2:00pm Contact: Emma Lockett-Smith tel: 07834 802624 email: elockett@rspca.org.uk. We will take over Victoria Square, entertaining passers-by with flyball and dog agility displays. There will be charity collections, information stands and a large media presence with the aim to raise awareness of this fantastic new appeal. Our new appeal aims to raise a massive £3 million in 12 months to build a state of the art flagship Animal Hospital and Rehoming Centre in the heart of the country. Our current centre in Barnes Hill was built in 1962 and due to many years of wear and tear it is no longer fit for purpose. Our services are heavily over-subscribed and there is now a 3-week waiting list for treatment. In 2010 alone, 7000 animals were rescued by our Inspectors in the Birmingham area and we treated 40,000 animals. The brand new centre will have state-of-the art veterinary theatres and provide rehoming opportunities for 160 cats and 60 dogs at any one time; in addition to rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, birds and other small animals. There will also be an education and training centre to teach the next generation of children how to look after animals and aim to prevent animal cruelty in the future. We need your help to make this dream a reality! Thank you, Stephanie Law, Capital Appeal Administrator Queensgate, 121 Suffolk Street, Queensway, Birmingham B1 1LX StLaw@rspca.org.uk Tel: 0300 123 8135
