Cats Protection to host coronation picnic
“Everyone is welcome and we will be on hand to help people find out more about becoming a volunteer for Cats Protection" – Tania Marsh.
Cat Protection’s National Cat Adoption Centre is inviting the public to join them for a teddy bears’ picnic to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
The picnic will take place at the centre in Chelwood Gate, East Sussex on Monday, 8 May from 12.00pm – 2.00pm. Entry will be free and people are encouraged to bring their teddy bears along with them.
The picnic is part of the Big Help Out initiative, which aims to raise awareness of volunteering through a national day of events across the UK.
Those who attend the picnic will have the opportunity to learn more about volunteering with Cats Protection.
Tania Marsh, deputy manager of the centre, said: “Our charity helps thousands of cats every year, but this is only possible thanks to our amazing volunteers who do so much to help cats in need. We’re incredibly grateful to all of them, so this day will be about celebrating them as well as the coronation.
“Everyone is welcome and we will be on hand to help people find out more about becoming a volunteer for Cats Protection. We have many roles available, from hands-on cat work to helping out with social media.
“Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills, make new friends and feel like you’re making a difference to a good cause. If you love animals – especially cats – then we’d love to meet you!”
