The Next Chapter

Today we have an amazing thank you to make to the late Brian Barnard and his wife Iris who were active supporters of PCL since as far back as 2005 we believe. Brian passed in April 2024 and the solicitors managing their affairs found the current trustees and after all the appropriate checks were made passed on the donation of £54,142.69 which is course is tax free given it's in a will to a registered charity which means it has all been put into the "moving house" pot. Brian and Iris, thank you and may you Rest in Peace safe in the knowledge your gift will keep many cats safe for many years to come.

Andrea has paid £135 into the account today as together with other volunteers they attended the turning on of the Billericay Christmas Lights where they sold a few gifts and raised awareness of PCL with the information boards.

Celia is proud to say that she banked £786.10 for the fundraiser today from her psychic night and some piece sold at a recent xmas fair. That's once again an excellent amount. Thank you to everyone who made that happen.

Val Green from has donated £200 to PCL from the fundraising efforts  of her group that you can see here facebook.com/groups/helpanimalsauction - That's very kind, many thanks :)

Local charity thefunwalktrust.co.uk/ sent us a cheque for £217 as a "top up" to the sponsored walk that Rebecca undertook earlier in the year which is awesome.

Their website explains their impact...

Last year, walkers and sponsors came together in record-breaking form—raising £100,953.41, including a dazzling 30% bonus from the Fun Walk Bonus Pot. This total pushed the amount raised by the Fun Walk since 2022 to a phenominal £1,635,000, benefitting hundreds of local charities and projects over the years.

Hopefully in 2026 we can get even more people doing this for our fundraiser!?
