Next month sees the start of Coeliac Awareness Week, 14th - 20th May and we are continuing our search for gluten-free alternatives. Recently we stumbled upon Honeybuns and their "award winning gluten- and wheat-free cakes" and it is clear that the people behind Honeybuns take their business seriously and have tremendous pride in their work. For us, Honeybuns hits the spot!
RSPCA Week has been running every year since 1995 to raise income for - and awareness of - the extensive work the RSPCA does. Over £320,000 was raised last year by loyal supporters and the next RSPCA Week runs from Monday 30th April - Sunday 6th May 2012. This year RSPCA vice-president and actor Brian Blessed is helping to raise awareness and support for RSPCA Week because he, like us, believes animals deserve better.
RSPCA Live is the charity's biggest ever digital campaign and will be launched through RSPCA's online profiles in the run up to RSPCA Week, on the weekend of 28th - 29th April 2012. With live Q&A sessions, behind the scenes stories and fun, shareable content about the RSPCA's work, it will give people the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of what they do.
The number of people convicted of cruelty and neglect to animals rose by nearly a quarter last year, according to figures recently announced by the RSPCA. Cases revealed ahead of the charity's major fundraising push, RSPCA Week 30th May to 6th June 2012 include a dog repeatedly stabbed with a potato peeler, a dog the only survivor of a house of horror where five animals died of starvation; a blind kitten found dumped in a carrier bag and two cases involving tens of dogs kept in squalid conditions.
