Suffolk Dog Day at Helmingham Hall

This Sunday, September 8th, Helmingham Hall in Suffolk will host Suffolk Dog Day, presented by St Elizabeth Hospice. This event is all about fun activities for the family, dog shows, and a whole load of opportunities for pet owners to celebrate the dogs in their lives. This year’s event is even more special for us, as we bring Suffolk Dog Day into our 20th anniversary celebration.

As part of our 20th-anniversary celebrations, the team here at Bridge Classic Cars has committed to performing 20 good deeds throughout the year as a way of giving back to the community that has supported us over the past two decades. This Sunday, one of these good deeds will be providing the vehicle being used for the donation station on behalf of RSPCA Suffolk Central. All donations received will be used in the Martlesham Animal Rescue Centre, shops, and welfare clinics.

We will have our trailer on site with tables next to it to receive your donations. Our trailer is hard to miss so, if you see it, make sure you come over and leave something animal-friendly for the RSPCA to use.

The RSPCA Martlesham Animal Centre plays a vital role in caring for and rehoming animals in need throughout Suffolk. The charity relies heavily on donations to continue providing food, shelter, and medical care for abandoned or mistreated animals. Understanding the importance of this work, we are asking for your help to contribute to the donations we will be delivering to the rescue centre next week.

If you can help with anything on the list below and will be attending Suffolk Dog Day on Sunday, please drop it off at our donation station:

• Unopened Pet Food: Both dry and wet food
• Unopened Treats: Any kind of treats suitable for cats, dogs, or rabbits.
• Toys and Enrichment Items: These are crucial for keeping the animals mentally stimulated and happy during their stay at the centre.
• Pet Carriers: Essential for safely transporting animals.
• Shredded Paper for Bedding: This is used to create comfortable and warm bedding for the animals.
• Leads, Harnesses, Collars, and Jackets: Items like these, particularly those suitable for resale, will support the ongoing work of the RSPCA.

We think that this is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and support a cause that makes a real difference in the lives of animals who need our help. Whether you’re a dog owner attending Suffolk Dog Day or someone who wants to contribute, your donation can help provide the necessary resources for the RSPCA to continue its vital work.

Our Dogs

Suffolk Dog Day itself is set to be a great experience on its own, with a wide range of activities for dogs and their owners, including dog shows, agility courses, and a host of stalls offering everything from pet accessories to gourmet dog treats. The event is family-friendly and is expected to attract visitors from across Suffolk and beyond.

By helping Bridge Classic Cars support the RSPCA Martlesham Animal Centre, you can enjoy a fun day out while making a positive impact on the lives of animals in need.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will help ensure that the animals at the RSPCA Martlesham Animal Centre receive the care and love they deserve.
