FUNDRAISING was a walk in the park for a vets in Wythall when they raised almost £150 for charity at the village's recent Picnic in the Park event.

YourVets Wythall on Alcester Road raised the funds for West Midlands based The Animal House Rescue Charity, who re-home abused and abandoned animals.

Visitors took part in traditional summer fete activities while their four-legged friends picked up free dental and microchip check-ups, as well as some puppy pampering.

Claire Girdler, practice manager at YourVets Wythall, said: “Picnic in the Park was a great way for the local community to meet the team, take advantage of some great free treatments - and of course raise lots of money for our chosen charity.

“The day was a real success, with lots of laughter and wagging tales, and we’re delighted to have raised nearly £150 for The Animal House Rescue Charity.”

Picnic in the Park is an annual initiative organised by Wythall Community Association.
