Christmas News Update

Dear Friends and supporters

We are at that time of year when many of you will be awaiting the arrival of your annual Christmas Newsletter or perhaps blaming the postal service for its delay.

The problem however does not lie with the postman but with the exorbitant increase in postage charges. It is deeply regrettable but after long serious discussion we have decided we must restrict the distribution of our newsletters to once a year. We are disappointed that this has been necessary but at this time of year with so many animals to look after and keep warm and ever increasing energy prices we do not feel postage at 36pence per letter to be a prudent use of our funds.

Those of you who received our Christmas Flyer last year may remember Doris who featured on the front cover desperately seeking a home. Doris seen here leaving Last Chance did not have too long to wait! Saffy and Skip, two little cats found by workmen abandoned in a skip, also featured last Christmas, are now happily settled in a wonderful home.

There have been many, many success stories in recent months and progress continues at our New Romney site. We are so grateful to all who support.us and make this work possible.

Winter is always a particularly hard time for us and although we will not be sending out newsletters or raffle tickets we would of course be very grateful to receive a donation from anyone willing or able to help our animals at this time.

If any of our Last Chance members/1,000 Club members would like to renew their memberships or you would like to become a member please visit our Form Library page - where you will find a form to suit your needs!

Wishing a very happy Christmas
to all our supporters and their pets.

Newsletter postage error
It has come to our notice that a few of our loyal supporters may have received a 2010 Newsletter with the incorrect postage resulting in some people being asked to pay £1.49 to the Post Office. It appears the error occurred when an extra book of raffle tickets was erroneously added to the envelope pushing the weight above the limit of a second class stamp. Last Chance is sincerely sorry for this mistake and we would like to offer our apologies to anyone who has been affected by our packing error. We are offering to reimburse anyone who has suffered any loss due to this problem and would ask them to contact us. Once again, please accept our apologies, yours sincerely The trustees Last Chance Animal Rescue.
