The Brinsley Animal Rescue Centre had an open day, and seeing as it is only down the road from us, and that we have a friend who is mad about supporting animal charities, and already sponsors the pigeons, the injured hedgehogs and Rocky the pig there, we all went along.
It's a fantastic set up there, none of the workers are paid, they all work in other jobs and work at the rescue centre as volunteers, they're for ever extending to accomodate new animals, and its obvious that all of the animals there are really cared for, and when ever possible, are released back into the wild, or if appropriate, rehomed.
I think I've talked about Boris the Blind Bull on here before, he was born blind and spent the first part of his life locked in a shed. When he was rescued by the centre they had to teach him how to kneel down to eat grass, and while I'm normally petrified of Bulls, he is a complete softy who really really enjoys human contact.
What else was so lovely to see was the amount of support and visitors that had come to the open day, only 2 weeks before Christmas, and people had come along to the rescue centre, it was definately more of a family day out than could ever be said of traipsing around shopping centres.
The centre has 2 open days a year, and is definately worth going to and supporting.
