A WEEKEND OF FUND RAISING (Sat 11th - Sun 12th July) Big thanks to all the volunteers that help out at our very busy weekend of fund raising and to the public that supported us. The weekend got started with the Broadwaters Fayre and we raised £165.70, then it was full steam ahead for Sunday with our team out fund raising at the Bromsgrove Cricket Club Big Summer Fete where we raised £135.05, the RSPCA Dog Show in Stourport on Severn where £181.78 was raised. That’s a whopping £482.53. Don't forget that 100% of all money raised will support Happy Staffie Rescue, Thanks all PACK FOR CASH Our thanks goes out to all the customers that allowed our volunteers to pack their bags at the charity bag pack at Franche Rd Co-op superstore on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July 2009. Even in the middle of a credit crunch public support for us was huge as an amazing £387.82 was donated on Saturday and £383.60 on Sunday. Thats a staggering £771.42 towards our future. 100% of all money raised at our bag pack and any other event goes directly to building a happy future for Staffies in need in the Worcestershire area. We would also like to thank the Midcounties Co-operative for supporting our much needed charity.

The weather was on our side for this event and our volunteers had the chance to help raise vital funds as well as top up their tan. To make this event possible we teamed up with other local dog rescue Birch Hill Dog Rescue and ran the event as a joint effort, we would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Fred Morris who donated the funds to pay for our pitch, we would have never been able to attend without his support. Our thanks also goes out to Happy Staffie volunteers Mark, John, Pauline and Alan plus Wendy (for providing the biggest tombola anyone had ever seen), Terry and Fred of Birch Hill, these volunteers dedicated their whole weekend to help and did not get back home till 9pm in the evening. We would also like to thank all the very kind people that donated money, tried their luck on the tombola, purchased plants or dog toys and gave us very kind wishes with the success of the charity. £455.70 was raised by the end of the day and this money will be shared out between us and our friends at Birch Hill Dog Rescue.
