CHARITABLE staff at Pets at Home stores in Bolton and Horwich are gearing up for their first major fundraising event of the year.

The teams are aiming to raise more money than ever before for Support Adoption For Pets.

The fundraiser, which takes place from Friday, May 6 to Friday, May 13, will see teams running pet adoption workshops along with fun activities to raise awareness and funds for various animal charities.

The workshops are designed to increase awareness of pet adoption and knowledge of how to care for pets looking for a new home.

Events will be taking place in the stores at Middlebrook Retail Park, Horwich, and at Manchester Road, Trinity Street Junction, Bolton.

Raffle tickets will be on sale for £1. These will give customers the chance to win free pet food for a year.
