Wood Green Animal Shelters received a boost with a donation from a Royston store.

Tesco in Royston has been collecting for Wood Green over the last few months, and gifts from customers have amounted to a total of �1,270.

Heydon shelter manager Mrs Gay Baxter received a cheque from Tesco representative Mandy Jinkerson.

Meanwhile the shelter is hoping to raise more funds at a Christmas shopping weekend at their Heydon shelter.

Advice will also be on offer to visitors who have pet rabbits or guinea pigs.

Mrs Baxter said: "We are looking forward to seeing lots of people over our festive weekend and will be giving very important health information and advice for pet owners of guinea pigs and rabbits.

"What a great way to spend the weekend learning about animals and also doing some of your Christmas shopping at the same time."

The event runs from 10am - 4pm this weekend, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.
