BROOK HOUSE SANCTUARY FOR ANIMALS
What a busy autumn season, we have had so many new animals including, Terrapins, seven ducks, two pot bellied pigs and a cow due next week. Enquires are coming in every day and countrywide.
Our appeal for peelings, vegetables and apples has been met with much kindness, people traveling from across Shropshire with bags and boxes of goodies for the rabbits, pigs and horses. Thank you to all.
A fundraiser was held at the Crown Newcastle on Saturday 12th of November. There was wonderful music from Peacock Angell, a delicious hot buffet and a game of Mr and Mrs caused a few laughs. The raffle had amazing prizes and over £400 was raised in aid of the animals welfare.
A heartfelt thank you to all whom supported and contributed to the event
We look forward to seeing you all on 10th December for the Live Nativity, if anyone would like to help at this event or would like to take part in the Nativity, please do be in contact. 640124.
Have a Wonderful Christmas
