Janet Allfree visited the SPA in Poitiers on the 22nd October 2016 and presented them with a donation cheque from The rainbow Association as an appreciation of all the work they do in helping animals in need. 

Pictured here is Rainbow's Treasurer, Stella presenting a donation cheque to Mike and Leeanne at Twilight.  These wonderful people are Ma and Pa to 30+ elderly dogs, many of them had been abused or abandoned and desperately needed somewhere warm and loving to end their days.  Mike and Leeanne work tirelessly to make their 'guests' comfortable, well fed and most importantly, smothered with unconditional love.  The Rainbow Association are honoured and humbled to be able to help these incredible people.

On October 4th Linda Burns and Andrew Bryan presented a cheque to Lydia Bourdeau who runs Centre de Soins de la Faune Sauvage Poitevine which is a wildlife animal rescue centre.  She does a wonderful job by rescuing and taking in abandoned or injured wild animals. The cheque is being presented by Andrew Bryan from the Rainbow Association to Lydia. Whilst there we saw just some of the animals she is caring for which includes Deer, Hedgehogs, Rabbits, Swans, Owls, Buzzards, other Birds of Prey, Rabbits and many more. Lydia can be seen holding a baby Squirrel.
 

Rainbow goes from strength to strength. The shop is doing better and better which enables us to make more donations to those who need it. We have already helped many animal associations and some individuals which has really made a difference. We could not do it without the wonderful support we get from our customers and the great and wonderful help we receive from our team of volunteers.

A big thank you to you all.
