Red Nose Day – we did it and THANK YOU!

    

This is an update to our RED NOSE DAY news and a BIG THANK YOU to all our lovely customers and friends who donated on the day. We have raised £263.72 so far for Comic Relief and we still have more coming in as pledges are fulfilled and people donate online at https://www.justgiving.com/NotJustPets

The customers at Frome helped keep Steph silent all day (a miracle!) and the staff at Bath helped keep our staff ‘spinning’ in the hamster ‘wheel’ and eating doggie treats.

Both shops sold lovely Red Nose Day cakes and dressed up Funny for Money. A HUGE thank you to all who supported this day and for helping to make a difference via Comic Relief.  Here’s what your cash can do :o)

You can follow us here on Facebook or @NotJustPets on Twitter; email us at bathpets@aol.com or telephone us on 01225 461461

Keep up the good work for Comic Relief everyone and THANKS again! 🙂

Not Just Pets does Red Nose Day !

Yes, it’s that funny time of year again! Well, it’s every two years, but you know what I mean? It’s Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day on Friday 15th March and all the Not Just Pets teams are doing something funny for money on that day.

Please help sponsor or support us – at Bath we are eating doggy treats (!), running in a giant hamster wheel (treadmill), and you can design a dog bowl (pick up a plate and pay £1 to enter) or win a bag of dog food – just buy a lucky ticket!

In Frome Steph is being sponsored to be quiet ALL DAY. Will she do it?? –  it will be a miracle if so – and she needs your help; the more she raises, the longer she stays silent – and the staff will thank you for that! 🙂

At both shops we have Red Nose cakes for sale and fancy dress. At Larkhall Lee will be dressed up and will also be selling cakes and taking donations.

We have Red Nose Windows in Bath and Larkhall – and the hamster ‘wheel’ will be in the Bath window all day. Please support us – pop in, donate, make a difference. Thank you!!

You can donate on our page here at https://www.justgiving.com/NotJustPets

You can also follow us on Facebook (please ‘like’ us) at www.Facebook.com/NotJustPets or on Twitter @NotJustPets or email us at bathpets@aol.com or simply pick up the dog and bone and ring us on 01225 461461.
