Charity Donations

Charity Auction for Penny Jones Animal Hospice

I ran a week long charity raffle from 17-23 January 2024 to raise money for the Penny Jones Animal Hospice based in Cumbria. Elizabeth Mcdonagh runs the charity with a team of volunteers and helps the most abused and neglected animals. I raffled off 21 wee creatures who I found during a very cathartic clear out of my studio at the start of the year, and this raised the amazing total of £520. I donated this sum to the charity on 25 January 2024.

Raffle for Los Intrepidos and Auction for Wee Christmas Cracker Bunnies

My husband, Enrique, undertook an expedition to climb the third highest peak in Mexico, Iztaccihuatl, in December 2023. He was raising money for World Villages for Children, and the raffle and auction for these wee creatures raised the sum of £786, which I donated to the charity on 23 December 2023. Thank you to everyone who took part - Enrique is very grateful! 

Wee Remembrance Poppies Pre-order

Following the success of the Wee Remembrance Bunny charity raffle in November 2022, I held a pre-order for Wee Remembrance Poppies creatures, and from each order I donated a further 10% to be shared between the Royal British Legion and Blue Cross charity. This gave a total of £200, and I donated £100 to each charity on 20 February 2023.

Wee Remembrance Bunny Charity Raffle

From 15-18 November 2022, I held a Charity Raffle for this Wee Remembrance Bunny. As a result of donations, ticket sales and donations from shop purchases, we raised the total sum of £500, which was shared equally between the Royal British Legion and Blue Cross animal charity. The payments were made on 18 November 2022.

£1,480 raised by Squeak Show Charity Raffle August 2022

From 1-7 August 2022, I held a Charity Raffle with the first prize being a complete set of 12 Squeak Show Mice, along with a bespoke hand-painted display case. In total, 634 tickets were sold, raising £1,268, to be shared equally between 22 small locally-run animal charities and rescues. I rounded up each donation to £60, bringing the total donated to £1,480. Thank you to everyone who took part!

164 Happy Wee Creatures and counting!

I started the Happy Wee Creatures Initiative in March 2020 as a response to the national lockdown. I wanted to bring some happiness into the world, and find a way of bringing people together, even if they couldn't see each other. I'm planning to keep the scheme going for as long as people need cute wee creatures to cheer them up :)
