Our donation of £250
Flori's Friends Rescue is a charity for dogs and cats, currently based in Chartham Hatch. They rescue dogs and cats from all over the country and where possible, rehome them. Some have catastrophic physical injuries and as a result have lost their rear legs. They are fitted with cradle wheels so they can get about when out for walks but indoors, they don't have them on. Some are also mentally scarred having been rescued from war zones. Our donation of £250 will help towards their care. The centre will be moving to Hoath in December to a 16-acre rehabilitation centre, where there will be facilities to train disabled children to look after them.
