DO you know of a deserving local animal re-homing centre that would benefit from a grant?

Local animal re-homing centres in the Crediton area can now apply for a £4,000 or £10,000 grant from Support Adoption For Pets as part of their new grant scheme for 2016 to celebrate its 10th birthday.

Grants worth £4,000 are available through the new Helping Paws award with the donation to go towards items such as microchips and scanners.

The charity are launching this tier of the year-long grant scheme now ahead of the law change on microchipping in March. There will be 20 of the Helping Paws grants available in the UK.

For larger organisations in the area, Support Adoption For Pets will also award £10,000 grants to 10 rescues for renovation projects. This can include enrichment paddocks, fencing, exercise areas or renovations to upgrade existing kennels, catteries and animal housings.

Do you know a local centre that could use this funding? If so, visit www.supportadoptionforpets.co.uk for an application form.

Applications for both grants close on February 26.
