Donate prizes for our raffles

One of the most important ways we raise funds is through our raffles, could you help us by donating a prize?

As we celebrate our centenary year, we are reflecting on 100 years of supporting vulnerable animals in our community and looking ahead to how we can continue this vital work for the next generation.

One of the most important ways we raise funds is through our raffles, which run throughout the year at events and by post.

Each raffle plays a crucial role in helping us provide warmth, food, medical treatment, and compassionate care to the hundreds of abandoned, unwanted, and vulnerable animals that come through our doors each year.

We are reaching out to valued local businesses to ask whether you would consider donating a raffle prize.

We are seeking:

  • Physical prizes
  • Gift vouchers for goods or services
  • Pledges for an “auction of promises”

We have some really exciting plans for 2026 and these prizes are always incredibly popular with our supporters, making a real difference to our fundraising efforts.

In return, we are delighted to promote and thank our prize donors, sharing your business with our large and engaged community of animal lovers. It’s a wonderful opportunity to reach new audiences while showing your support for a local cause during this special milestone year.

Thank you for helping us make our centenary year raffles a success and for being part of something that gives animals the second chances they deserve.
