Many animals this year will not have the creature comforts that many pets will enjoy, cuddling up on the sofa, curling up in front of a warm fire, presents or a turkey dinner on Christmas day.

Please spare a thought for animals in need this year who find themselfs in an animal shelter,because they have been abused, abandoned or neglected.

At RSPCA Woodside we love our rescue animals and want to make Christmas as enjoyable for them as you do for your pets.

A donation from you will help us to provide toys and treats and make life just that little bit better for them.

You could do your own fundraising, hold a coffee morning, a bake sale, or perhaps a christmas jumper day at work or school. Whatever you raise will make a difference to the lives of animals in Leicestershire, Peterborough and Rutland.

Thank you for caring
