Collection at NORTHWOOD New World, Belfast 9-5pm Saturday 14th/8
Come and support Cat Rescue Christchurch tomorrow at Northwood New World. We will be accepting money donations and donations of kitten food and litter, Laundry powder, paper towels etc.
If you can't make it to the collection, you could go to our website www.catrescuechch.org... and look at how to donate via our bank account, or our givealittle page.
You could also set up a automatic weekly donation (and claim off against your tax at year end) for as little as 1-2 dollars a week (We call this our Change for Cats Club) or from 5 + dollars a week (and we call this Paw Pal Regular Givers). Information re both is on our website.
We appreciate your support.
If you could like this post and tell family and friends we would be most grateful.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
