The pet insurance provider, Petplan, has donated £500 to the Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre, in Hurst, Berkshire.
The centre was founded over 40 years ago in Wokingham and staff and supporters have helped thousands of unwanted, stray and neglected animals. It has now relocated in Hurst, where animals can be accommodated in a specially adapted and purpose-built space on a 14 acre site.
Janet North, centre manager of the Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre, said: “It was a fantastic surprise to win Petplan’s prize draw and the money will help us to care for the 100’s of animals we rescue every year.”
Petplan works with re-homing charities to help fund the care of thousands of homeless cats and dogs . The insurer offers four weeks free insurance to every owner adopting pets through the shelters it supports and also provides free insurance vouchers to visitors and supporters of the charities. Each month a prize draw is held from all the insurance vouchers issued and one charity benefits from the prize fund.
