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.

 

SAINSBURY COLLECTION  4 & 5 SEPTEMBER 2009

Helen Hudson, Christopher Russell, Mandy Beer, Alan and Carole Warner collected a total of £253.93 at Sainsburys, Park Farm, Folkestone.

 

DOVER ROCK 1 AUGUST 2009

The Sanctuary was put forward by our vet, Jeremy Stattersfield, to be 1 of 3 charities to receive the profits of this event and we were expecting to receive at least £1000.  Christopher Russell, Mandy Beer and Bob Hall were our volunteers on this very busy day and the Sanctuary was presented with a cheque for £2300 at the end of August.

OPEN DAY 12 JULY 2009

Despite the financial gloom takings for the day amounted to £4755.71 less costs of £855.30 leaving a net profit to the Sanctuary funds of £3900.41, being only £450 less than last year's all time record.  We saw many new visitors but numbers were slightly down overall probably due to the fact that there were many other functions on at the same time, the significant one being the Royal Marines performance in Deal.  The really good news is that 8 cats were offered new homes, especially Portia and Mischief who had been in the sanctuary for several months and 6 cats found new sponsors.  For the first time our patron, Liz Smith, was unable to attend.  She is currently recovering from a stroke she had in January and we are hopeful she will be able to visit us sometime in the future.
