THE Scottish SPCA is appealing to kind hearted people in Aberdeenshire to volunteer and help raise funds for abused, abandoned and injured animals.
Scotland’s animal welfare charity is urging locals to get involved in its Rehoming Week, which runs from May 2-8, by shaking a collection tin in their area.
Graeme Innes, manager of the charity’s Aberdeenshire Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre in Drumoak, said: "Every year our centre takes in and finds loving new homes for hundreds of neglected, mistreated and unwanted animals and 2016 is proving to be just as challenging.
"During Rehoming Week we have opportunities to fundraise throughout Aberdeenshire and we’d be very grateful if people who love animals can get behind our appeal and help.
"Door-to-door fundraising can be carried out between the Monday and Friday of Rehoming Week, while people can hold street collections on the Saturday.
"Even if someone can only spare an hour or two, their time and efforts would be hugely appreciated.
"Giving up your spare time to help raise funds within your local community is an extremely kind gesture and one which will be of huge benefit to our work."
Anyone who would like to help raise funds for the Scottish SPCA can contact the fundraising team on 03000 999 999 or email fundraising@scottishspca.org
