DEAR EDITOR - The Blue Cross Animal Adoption Centre would like your readers' help in being able to give all the animals in the centre over Christmas a Christmas dinner.

A donation of 50 pence would help us to do this and to show that we do care about them all as they spend Christmas here waiting for new homes in the New Year.

We expect to have some one hundred animals here over this festive time, and the kindness and support of your readers would be very much appreciated.

Please send donations to: Blue Cross, Wildmoor Lane, Catshill, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61 0RJ.

Thank you for your support in helping us with our appeal.

Neil Edwards

Centre manager
