One of my Lord Mayor's charities is the local RSPCA centre at Llys Nini, so it was a privilege and a pleasure to be asked to attend their AGM tonight and present the animal centre manager with an award as employee of the year.
In 2018 the local RSPCA branch rescued 19,846 animals, neutered 1,611, chipped 1,669 and offered 715 treatment to animals whose owners could not afford to have them looked after elsewhere. They have also turned the farm where they are based into a wildlife centre, with ponds, trails, otter holt, sand martin hotel, bird and bat boxes.
They have planted new woods, and a native apple orchard, They have wild flowers, bird and board walks. All of these are paid for by grants and are attracting many more people to the site, earning them more money for their animal welfare work.
It is an amazing achievement, and the centre grows from strength to strength. I hope that we can contribute to their work from the Lord Mayor's charity fund.
