Team Eyeweb raise over £1000 for Hull Animal Welfare Trust

Team Eyeweb has just completed a 1000-mile walking challenge for Hull Animal Welfare Trust, raising over £1000. 

During the Walkies for Welfare fundraiser, we surpassed our target, finishing the challenge at almost 1100 miles walked over the month of October. 

The money we raised has gone to Hull Animal Welfare Trust, a charity based in South Cave that rehabilitates, supports and rehomes abandoned and mistreated animals. The trust relies solely on public donations to stay up and running. 

Natalie Rhodes of Hull Animal Welfare Trust said: "We really appreciate the team at Eyeweb for doing this fundraiser to help the animals in our care. Times are very tough currently, and we cannot thank them enough for choosing to support us.” 

Hull Animal Welfare Trust has been active since 1982 and has since rehomed over 30,000 pets. As costs rise, fundraisers like Walkies for Welfare are crucial to the survival of these non-profit organisations. 

“We’re thrilled with the outcome of Walkies for Welfare and want to thank everyone for donating. It’s been incredibly rewarding.” Said Paul Scott, Managing Director of Eyeweb. “We hope this donation goes a long way in helping them deliver their fantastic work.” 

To round off the charity event, local business Peach Hampers donated a gift hamper worth £68 for a lucky donor to win, which went to Hessle-based hairdresser Andrew Nixon.
