The volunteers at Bluebell Ridge help to support both staff and cats in a variety of ways, including cleaning the cat pods and runs, driving cats to and from the vets, visiting potential adopter’s homes, socialising with the cats, arranging fundraising events, helping with office admin and even making the centre grounds look beautiful.

Centre Manager, Myra Grove, said: “Our volunteers make a huge difference to animal welfare in Hastings and Rother, providing an additional level of support and going the extra mile every day.

“The tea party is our opportunity to thank them for the contribution that they make. It was great to see so many of our dedicated volunteers enjoying themselves.

“I would also like to say a big thank you to Asda in St. Leonards for kindly providing the delicious cakes.”
