SAINSBURY PARK FARM FOLKESTONE

For over 10 years the Sanctuary has had a food collection box in Sainsburys whereby the Sanctuary benefits to the tune of £4,000 p.a.  Recently the box was removed, without warning and many irate customers complained.  As a result of their representations the box has been refurbished and is now back in store.  We are most grateful for their support.  We also have food collection boxes in Pets at Home, Park Farm, Folkestone and the new Morrisons supermarket, Dover and all boxes are being fully utilised.

Forthcoming events:- Christmas fair, Folkestone Sat 20 November 2010.

OPEN DAY 18 JULY 2010

The 40th Annual open day was a great success, perfect weather, wonderful company and a superb financial success.  Gross receipts were £5,633.00 and expenses £781.62 making a net profit to the Sanctuary of £4,851.38 - the best ever.  The tombola took an incredible £1,010.55 - thank you to all who gave so generously.  6 new potential sponsors came forward and another potential sponsor came to the Sanctuary to see her sponsored cat and decided to take her home instead - wonderful.  Macavity - a gentle black and white cat aged 12 who had been in the Sanctuary for some months found a new home as well.  The ginger/white kittens found new home as well. A very special thanks to Alan Warner, Ken Jones, Kevin Fagg and Colin Spinks for keeping the traffic flowing so smoothly all day.Carole Warner was unable to attend with her PAT cats, Phoebe, Sybil and Chloe as she was nursing a broken leg. However they should all be in attendance at the Christmas fair in Folkestone.

May 30th 2010 Spring Plant Fair was a big success it raised over £1000 towards sanctuary funds so  a very big thank you to everyone who helped and donated plants for us to sell.

CHRISTMAS FAIR 21 NOVEMBER 2009

We were blessed with fine weather for the fair held at Trinity Church Hall, Folkestone despite the forecast for rain and we had a steady stream of visitors spending their money.  Takings were £1660.67 with expenses being £499.38 making a profit of £1161.29 on a par with last year.  The cats in the Sanctuary will be having a chicken dinner on Christmas day!  The best news of all, our dear black Chloe, a very young 17 year old found a lovely new home on the day.
