ON behalf of RSPCA Blackpool & North Lancs Branch, I just want to say a big thank you to both you and your readers, for their continued support, especially during the past six months of our campaign.

The support has been quite overwhelming, and the Committee, staff and team of dedicated volunteers, who have all been working very hard are very, very grateful.

However, we are not feeling complacent, but are aware that there is still some way to go, before we can be confident about Longview's future.

We still need to increase the regular amount of income we receive, to secure its future, for generations to come. Also, we are always in need of more help at the Animal Home, in the charity shop or at fund raising events.

If interested, please get in touch with either Longview on (01253) 763991 or Cathy (01253) 622659. We would love to hear from you!

Anyone interested in having one of our collecting dogs and/or tins, please also phone one of the above numbers. Thank you!

Cathy Hopkins, fund raising co-ordinator, RSPCA Blackpool & North Lancs.
