Staff and volunteers at Sutton PDSA are urging locals to donate their unwanted items or time to help sick and injured pets.

The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals – Sutton PDSA – is desperate for good quality donations including Bric a Brac, books and unwanted gifts as well as men’s and ladies clothes, shoes and accessories.

Shop manager, Julie and assistant manager Denise, said: “Perhaps your wardrobe is bulging with unworn clothes or your shelves are full of books you never read?

“Why not have a clear-out and donate your unwanted items to PDSA?

“As well as de-cluttering your home, you’ll be helping a very worthy cause at the same time.”

Julie and Denise is also appealing for local people to lend a hand and volunteer at the shop.

Julie added: “We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about pets and who can lend a hand.

“Volunteering for PDSA is fun and the skills you learn look great on any CV.

“Plus you get to meet new people and make some friends along the way.

“No previous retail experience is needed, as full training is provided for all new volunteers.

“So, if you would like to help sick and injured pets, why not join our friendly volunteer team.”

Located at 31 Low Street, the shop raises vital funds to provide free and low cost vet care for those who struggle to pay treatment costs for their sick and injured pets.

PDSA encourages all supporters to sign up for Gift Aid* if they are a UK tax payer, to help their donations go even further.

Gift Aid allows PDSA to claim an additional 25 per cent of the value of each item sold.
