Also on 4th October, while we are busy with our jumble sale, Peverel green Care Home will be holding a Pup Pageant. They are kindly donating all proceeds from the day to our charity to support the rescue dogs at Wallace Kennels. If you fancy popping along with your pooch, all the details are in the leaflet below. .We hope they have a great day.
At Friends of Wallace Kennels we are always looking for new ways to raise awareness and much needed funds for our cause.
We are currently in the process of planning an afternoon tea event. This event will take place n Sunday 6th April – more details will be available on our event page nearer. We will also be holding a raffle at the event and are currently seeking prizes. If you have any unwanted gifts or know a company that could donate a raffle prize we would be extremely grateful to receive any items.
Looking forward to the summer, we will be representing Friends of Wallace Kennels at several events, so far we have bookings confirmed at Ingatestone show on 19th July and the Navestock village fair on 26th July. We will also be at Blackmore village show but are currently awaiting a date. You can come along and see us at these events, where we will be selling new and used items and offering a range of fundraising activities such as lucky dips and a tombola. If you have any items that would make suitable prizes we would love to have them.
If you have any great ideas for raising funds, we are always happy to hear suggestions or are you taking part in an event this year and looking to raise funds for a charity, we would love to her from you and can help with promotion.
Please contact Julia via fowksecretary@btinternet.com to discuss any of the above.
Many Thanks
It’s been a busy summer for many of our wonderful volunteers. They have been helping us raise much needed funds to enable us to support the kennels. We would like to thank our amazing volunteers for all their help at the Jumble on 7th September. A special thank you goes out to Susanne and her husband for running stalls at two fun day events hosted by Brentwood Borough Council, one in Warley playing fields and the other at The Brentwood Centre. Great fun was had by all the attendees and all of the funds raised help us to pay the ever increasing veterinary bills, fuel costs and other outgoings at Wallace Kennels dog rescue. If you have an event that you think would be suitable for us to set up a fundraising and promotional stall at please let us know and we’ll do our best to attend if possible. We look forward to seeing you at our next jumble sale in December, see our events page for details.
If you have been following our blog about the 3 Peaks challenge, you’ll be pleased to know that Charley managed to complete the climb in 24 hours! She not only secured herself a medal but raised an amazing £850 for FoWK. Well done and thank you!
This is the t-shirt Charley will be wearing as she takes on the 3 Peaks Challenge. It was kindly printed by a lady in Laindon, who does it as a hobby and saw our request for recommendations on Facebook. We can’t wait to see the photos of Charley wearing it on her climbs!
