Could you help sponsor a new mower for the GSPCA to help keep our grounds tidy

Submitted by GSPCA on 12:19, 30th Apr, 2013 | 0

With Spring comes the growing season and the GSPCA are appealing for funds to help towards a new mower for the Shelter.

With over 3 acres of grounds there is a lot of grass at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.

We have been offered a fantastic machine for only £350 and we would love it if someone would be kind enough to help towards it.

The machine would be used to cut the fields and grounds where we walk and exercise the dogs as well as the areas where our resident ducks reside on our pond.
