The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre’s popular Guardamar charity shop this month reopened in a new, modern and central premises that boasts access to plenty of nearby car parking.
The rescue centre’s co-founders, Sue and Rod Weeding, are also planning to further expand their network of eight charity shops to include a second “euro shop” in Dolores by years’ end.
“We now have 81 horses, ponies and donkeys at the centre and we need a minimum of €4000 a week to keep us going – and that doesn’t cover surgeries or hospitalisations,” Sue says.
“We are now in our seventh year and police across much of the Costa Blanca are now on our side. It’s so important that we can always respond when they call us. That’s why the shops are vital, so we have the funds to continue our work, grow as an organization and advocate for animal welfare in the Valencia region.”
Sue says more volunteers are needed at the relocated Guardamar shop, in Calle de la Puerta del Cairo, 03140 Guardamar del Segura next door to Pil Pil fish restaurant which is run by Spanish manager Pilar
“We’re over the moon to have a Spanish lady running it – she’s our first Spanish manager – and we’re also looking for English-speaking volunteers. It’s a great way to practice your Spanish, improve your social life and meet new people,” Sue says.
She is also calling for expressions of interest for people interested in volunteering at the Dolores euro shop. Please call the charity shop hotline on 652 021 980 for more information. Those wishing to donate large furniture items can also arrange pick-ups via this number.
The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre is open to the public the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. The centre is located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga 59. For directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net. Or call Sue 652 021 980
