Jollyes makes first £5,000 NFRSA donation
The first donation has also enabled the NFRSA to create and sell a 2025 calendar featuring some of the gorgeous animals the charity supports, which has raised £10,000
Jollyes has handed over £5,000 to the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) after beginning fundraising for the charity in October.
Over the next 12 months, all Jollyes’ stores are raising money for NFRSA through collection boxes in their stores.
Customer donations are being matched by Jollyes and the first donation of £5,000 includes money donated by customers, and a Jollyes match.
The NFRSA helps support the care, well-being, and welfare of retired service animals from across the emergency service family.
Jollyes’ most recent store openings at Leyland, Cardiff and East Kilbride all had special VIP appearances from members of the NFRSA family.
The NFRSA aims to use funds raised from its partnership with Jollyes to establish regional hubs across the UK to aid local support and fundraising efforts for retired service animals.
The first donation has also enabled the NFRSA to create and sell a 2025 calendar featuring some of the gorgeous animals the charity supports, which has raised £10,000.
The Countess Bathurst, NFRSA founder said: “We are incredibly grateful to wonderful Jollyes for welcoming the NFRSA into their family. The ethos of Jollyes is the care and well-being of pets across the UK, and as a charity we share that same passion. The year ahead means we can work together to ensure our heroic retired service animals are guaranteed the happy, safe, and above all healthy retirement they deserve.”
Joe Wykes, Jollyes CEO, added: “It’s been a great start to our partnership with the Foundation. Our colleagues and customers understand the importance of the work they do for the animals who spend their working lives protecting us.”
