Pick your dress for the coming party season at a special fashion show in aid of Animal Care at Lancaster and Morecambe College at 7pm on Wednesday, 22nd October.
Gorgeous designer dresses by Monsoon, Phase Eight, Karen Millen and many more will be presented on the cat walk at the college’s Roeburn Suite. The dresses will be accessorised with affordable jewellery which can be bought or ordered on the night. They will be modelled by volunteers from the local area, showing how great the dresses can look on ‘real women’.
Admission is by ticket only at £4.50 which includes a drink on arrival and nibbles provided by the catering department. There will also be a raffle in aid of the charity.
Animal Care has existed in various forms for more than 30 years and it has been a registered charity since 1978. A few local animal lovers started to care for animals in their own homes when no-one else would help them and as the need for help increased so did the need for a permanent site to house the dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, goats, horses and other animals desperately in need of care and attention. In 1987 Blea Tarn Kennels were kindly donated to the charity and since then the many volunteers involved in the charity have helped improve the site so it is able to provide the best home until a ‘forever’ home can be found for each and every animal.
At any one time there can be up to 40 dogs and puppies, 70 cats and kittens, 50 rabbits, rodents, ferrets and other species as well as wildlife that may need interim care before moving on to a specialist wildlife centre.
The charitable aims of the organisation are to help unwanted, stray and unloved animals and then to find them permanent homes with suitable owners. This in itself is becoming harder and harder as each year the centre has more and more abandoned and unwanted animals needing help. Even the smallest amount of money can enable the charity to help the animals in its care.
