We're pleased to announce our Charity for 2013: STA Ferret Rescue!
STA Ferret Rescue (a branch of the British Federation of Ferret Welfare) is the ferret arm of STARescue, a registered charity working in the Basingstoke, Sonning and surrounding areas.
Claire Shuttleworth has been running the ferret branch, with her husband Roy, from their home in Sonning since July 2004. Since then, at least 1000 ferrets (and 9 whole polecats) have come into their care - with between 150-200 ferrets arriving each year.
As a small charity, their funding is restricted, so our contributions will make a real difference to their work, and help them look after the many ferrets that need their help.
Last year, we introduced a 'Meet the Charity' event, and you'll be pleased to know we're planning to continue this for 2013, this means you'll be able to hear from STA Rescue, and of course, meet the Ferrets!
New for 2013 - Ferret Racing! The charity are planning to come along and run their Ferret Racing event for us, where you can place bets on the Ferrets, and help raise a bit of extra money for the charity!
With your help, we know we'll be able to make a big difference to this charity, so make sure you come along to the Charity events, and attend the art auction!
