A grand night out…

Many thanks to all who supported our spring quiz on Saturday 27th April. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and together we raised a “grand” total of £1,012 for the animals in our Branch area.

The winners on the night were the Rebels, in a close run competition that saw the top five teams all within five points of each other. Congratulations, too, to the Happi Days team who brought up the rear.

Many thanks to Geoffrey for writing and hosting the quiz, to Kate for promoting and booking in the teams, to Dawn for doing the raffle and Ray for donating the bottles of wine for the winners. The kitchen team of Stephen, Susanne, Diane, Jan and Mary, cooked and served almost 100 piping hot baked potatoes, and many thanks to them. The hall hire fee was donated by a regular supporter.

The raffle on the night raised £260 (included in the total above), and we very much appreciate everyone who donated a prize, including East of England Co-operative Society whose gift voucher bought three prizes.

Watch the website for details of more quizzes and events this year, and if you would like to help out, please contact Jane on 07592 517836 or via volunteering@rspca-suffolkcentral.org.uk Without the hard work and enthusiasm of our volunteers, we would not be able to help the number of animals and families with pets that we do. Please consider joining our volunteer team, no matter how many or few hours you feel you can give, especially in 2024, our 200th anniversary year.

Sunday Volunteers Needed at our Felixstowe Charity Shop

Can you help?

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to work a 3-hour shift 10am-1pm or 1-4pm with our wonderful team at our Felixstowe Charity Shop on a Sunday (from June-September).

As a volunteer, you would help serve customers, sort stock and help with window displays – but the role is so much more than that, our shops are a local hub of activity, and you’ll be helping RSPCA Suffolk Central raise vital funds to help animals in need in Suffolk.

It would be helpful if you have worked in retail or have previous customer service experience, but this is not essential as we are looking for people who love animals, are passionate about making a difference in their community, and want to contribute their time and skills.

If you would like to know more, please call Jo, the shop manager, on 01394 275350 or email volunteering@rspca-suffolkcentral.org.uk.

Saturday Volunteers Needed at our Stowmarket Charity Shop

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to work with our dedicated and hardworking team at our Stowmarket Charity Shop on a Saturday.

Our Stowmarket Shop is friendly and welcoming with an extensive range of goods – something for everybody!

As a volunteer, you would help serve customers, sort stock, and even help make window displays; if that is something you would enjoy. But the role is so much more than that.

Our shops are a local hub of activity, and you’ll be helping RSPCA Suffolk Central raise vital funds to help animals in need in Suffolk.

It would be helpful if you have worked in retail or have previous customer service but not essential, as we are looking for people who love animals, are passionate about making a difference in their community, and want to contribute their time and skills.   It’s an exciting opportunity to join our already existing team of loyal volunteers.

Together, we can create positive change for animals in need in Suffolk.

 

*We ask that you make a regular commitment to your shift*
