ANIMAL lovers braved the cold weather to raise funds for a new re-homing centre in Worcestershire.

A coffee morning and bazaar was organised by members of the RSPCA at the Guildhall in High Street, Worcester.

They raised more than £350 by making cakes, running a tombola and manning stalls selling bric-a-brac, books and buns.

Next year the charity celebrates its centenary and it hopes to raise £1 million for the new building which will include an animal rescue centre.

The RSPCA Worcester and Mid-Worcestershire branch is separate to the national organisation and is completely self- funded.

Members of staff are working extra hard to raise the £1 million pounds and the £376.98 made at the bazaar willgo twoards that targert.

Last year the charity re-homed and rescued more than 300 animals but its work is never done.
