Ellie makes a splash

Eight-year-old Ellie’s sponsored swim was in memory of her beloved nanna.

“My Nanna died of cancer in December 2022 so I decided to do a sponsored swim in memory of her,” explains Ellie. “She loved animals as much as I do, so I chose the RSPCA. I challenged myself to swim 500 metres over the summer holidays but I actually swam 550 metres and raised £120!”

Ellie spread out the swim over three visits to her local pool and her little brother Oliver swam some widths with her to keep her company.

Thank you so much Ellie. What a lovely tribute.
 

Ella’s a star baker

Eight-year-old Ella wanted to raise money to help us keep rescuing animals, so she set up a fab bake sale in her driveway.

She invited friends, family and neighbours to buy home-made buns, cakes and sausage dog rolls. She also held a ‘Guess the number of bones’ game. All in all, she raised an amazing £186. 

“I love animals and just wanted to help them,” says Ella. “I’d really like to work with them when I’m older.”

Thanks so much, Ella. We’re so impressed!

Juno’s climbing challenge

10 year old Juno completed an epic endeavour to raise money for animals – climbing one kilometre of laps on her local, 15m climbing wall in just under 2 hours and 20 minutes.

She trained for three months, working her way up to the full 67 laps needed to climb a kilometre.  

She raised an incredible £520 for the RSPCA. 

We love your creativity and dedication Juno! Thank you so much.
