Year on year as we deal with more and more dogs and cats in need, so our vet bills rise. This is the source of most of our outgoings, but there are other costs too which also add to the need to fund-raise pretty consistently throughout the year.
We are very, very happy for other people to offer their ideas to help us fund-raise. We could not and would not exist without our amazing supporters. Whether you give time or money, you are ensuring we can continue to support those that need our extra care.
We are always in need of people to help put fundraising ideas into practice.

WHAT DOES IT REALLY COST TO RAISE A LITTER?
When a litter of puppies or kittens arrives in our care, the costs begin immediately.
Food, milk replacer, vaccinations, parasite treatments, microchipping, veterinary care, litter, bedding and all the essentials quickly add up.
Online fundraising
Whether you are celebrating a special day, or doing a challenge, you can support us by raising money online for the animals in our care.
Organising a fundraising event
Get wet and muddy on a grand dog walk with others, or put on a concert or fete. Whatever you decide to do, do it for Les Amis.
