£2,500 boost for animal refuge

A wildlife sanctuary has received a donation for £2,500 from a local friendship group.

Outgoing chairman of the Nene and Welland Oddfellows friendship group, Elaine Brown, handed over the cheque, having chosen the Exotic Pet Refuge in Deeping St James as her charity of the year.
The money has been raised through a number of events, including raffles, car boot sales and indoor table top sales.
Donations of bedding, towels and food have also been given.
The Nene and Welland Oddfellows has now supported the wildlife sanctuary to the tune of over £6,500.
Refuge founder Pam Mansfield said: “We’re extremely grateful to the Oddfellows for their continued backing.
“Without help like this we wouldn’t be able to do the work we do and give these animals the most comfortable life possible.”
Pam is assisted by her son, Darren, and a small team of volunteers.
