These animal lovers have been busy helping out the RSPCA. If you feel inspired to do the same, and want the chance to appear on this page, tell us about it by emailing: animalaction@rspca.org.uk or by clicking here.
Nancy’s top challenge
Seven-year-old Nancy ran one mile every day of the Easter school holidays – completing 14 miles and raising a totally amazing £320. She even went for a run on Easter Sunday before eating her Easter eggs!
“Luckily the weather was good and it didn’t rain much,” says Nancy. “I fell over on a bridge on my second run and almost got stuck in the mud by the river another day! But I really like all animals and wanted to help save some of them, so I kept going.”
You’re an inspiration, Nancy. Thanks so much!
Ivy’s super stall
Eight-year-old Ivy filled her stall full of cuddly toys to raise money for the RSPCA – and to get her Brownies Charities Badge. She raised £55!
Ivy asked friends and neighbours if they had any cuddlies to donate and filled her mum’s care with more than 100.
“I was a bit nervous speaking to people I didn’t know at first,” admits Ivy. “But then I started to enjoy it. People were very nice. I sold over 80 to neighbours. Squishmallows were the kids’ favourite. And some people even bought a toy for their dog!”
What an amazing stall, Ivy. Well done!
Molly and Reuben’s fundraising win
Molly and her brother Reuben had a huge clearout, and set up a stall on their driveway to raise money to help animals. They sold old books and toys and bits and bobs they didn’t need any more. Keen artist Molly even sold her first painting! The pair raised a fabulous £30.
“I love what the RSPCA does and I wanted to help as no animals should suffer,” says Molly. Reuben agrees. “We donated to the RSPCA because we love our own pets – a cocker spaniel, a Syrian hamster and lots of fish.”
Thanks so much for thinking of us, Molly and Reuben.
