Free Microchipping from Dogs Trust

Dogs Trust have just started a huge chipping campaign to run with the new government announcement that from the 6th April 2016 all dogs will have to be microchipped. Dogs Trust have new roaming chipping teams who will be offering FREE microchipping across the UK.

We are currently looking to book in events for the rest of the year and next. We can join in with any events that you already have running and we can run our own. We are happy to work outside in estates or open areas as we have a gazebo we can set up. We will also work in community halls/centres or anywhere available.

We will be advertising each event in local papers to ensure we get the maximum turnout, but any help from you to make sure that the whole community hears about the event will be greatly appreciated. We want to reach as many dogs and people as possible that would normally not have the opportunity to have this service.

If you would be interested in holding an event in your community then please don’t hesitate to contact me to talk about dates/times etc.

I hope to hear back from you soon

Best wishes

Upchurch Poppy Appeal 2013

“WE WILL REMEMBER THEM”

The total donations collected in Upchurch in 2013 are just over £2,600 some £350 above last years total. Of this amount £922 was donated in business or retail outlets and the pupils and staff of Holywell School donated £58. The house-to-house Poppy Appeal collection in Upchurch was undertaken in all areas of the Parish by twenty two collectors eight of whom were Upchurch Scouts.

St. Mary the Virgin had a large congregation of all ages for the Remembrance Sunday service conducted by Reverend Jacky Davis. Six wreaths were laid below the memorial tablet in the Lady Chapel. After the service Reverend Davis led the choir, the uniformed youth organisations and the congregation in the autumnal sunshine to the burial ground where wooden crosses were laid at the five war commission graves. We were mindful of current losses and injuries in Afghanistan suffered by our Armed Forces.

The Poppy Appeal makes it possible for the Royal British Legion to help Armed Forces families with £1.7 million each week in direct welfare support. Additionally £50 million has been committed over ten years to support the Defence Recovery Capability programme for wounded and sick Armed forces personnel. Of this, £27 million is to create and operate The Battle Back Centre at Lilleshall.

On behalf of the Royal British Legion thank you for your generosity.

Cllr Gerry Lewin - Upchurch Poppy Day Appeal Organiser.
