A wonderful event was recently held at Les Cotils in aid of the GSPCA and Young Lives vs Cancer.
Louise Gambrell GSPCA Treasurer who attended the event said “On 12th March Wendy Woodcock and Elaine Lockett held a charity lunch in aid of the GSPCA and Young Lives V Cancer.”
“This was the fourth lunch they have organised in two years.”
“Wendy has also held an open garden and Elaine often holds second hand clothing sales to raise more funds.”
“They have raised thousands of pounds for both charities with all their events.”
“The lunch was very well attended, with lots of the attendees embracing the gold theme.”
“It was also a celebration for Win Rowland, who at 96 years old had just published her new novel, The golden Dog Tag.”
“The lunch raised an amazing £894 for each of the two charities.”
“The GSPCA is very grateful for all the effort Wendy and Elaine have made to support us and will ensure that the funds go towards the GSPCA’s new small animal area as requested.”
Young Lives vs Cancer said on their facebook page ‘We are always very impressed with the fundraising that Guernsey supporter Elaine organises to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer in memory of her Godson Marcus. Last month her pre-loved clothes sale raised £420 and recently her fabulous charity luncheon raised £894 for Young Lives vs Cancer and £894 for GSPCA, Guernsey SPCA .
Thank you so much to Elaine and Wendy for organising this fabulous Charity Lunch last weekend and hope the book signing went well for Wendy and Win. A BIG thank you to YOU if you supported this lovely occasion. Thank you very much once again Elaine. ’
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “A huge thanks to Elaine and Wendy for holding what was such another great event to raise funds for the GSPCA and Young Lives vs Cancer.”
“A huge thanks to the team at Les Cotils and all involved for raising so much for our much needed Small Animal Department.”
There are many ways you can help support our vital 24/7 work and donate or raise funds for the hundreds of animals in our care.”
