LOVE YOUR PET

In January 2024 we challenged our team to walk, jog or run the equivalent of a marathon in return for a donation to our Charity of the Year, Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter. We’re pleased to report that our team rose to the challenge and raised an amazing £300 for this incredible cause. 

In February, we ran our 'Love Our Pets' competition on National Love Your Pets Day. The competition was won by our fantastic receptionist Janet, with her wonderful pug, and raised anopther £30 for the charity.
