UPDATE! We had a fantastic day and raised £4,336! Huge thank you to everyone who came along to support us and we hope you had a lovely day.

Our next big Event here at the Sanctuary is on Sunday 26 June 2022 when we will be holding our Summer Fun Day

Please do come along and join us – 12 noon – 4 p.m.

Entry is only £2 per person

Calling all bakers! Join in on the day with the Great Bleakholt Bake Off!

This time our Bake Off is literary themed – decorate your bakes with a favourite book in mind that will fit into one of the 4 categories on the poster below. Bring your bake along on the day and pay on the day! Entry is only £3 per bake. Entry opens at 12 noon and closes at 1.15 p.m. Judging begins at 1.30 p.m.

If you arrive late but the class you are entering has not yet been judged, then you may still be able to enter!

Each class will be judged separately and 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will be awarded. A final overall winner – star baker! – will be awarded a special prize kindly donated by The Eagle and Child, Ramsbottom – a Sunday night sleepover for 2 with a 3 course meal and bottle of wine!
After the bakes have been judged, we would like to be able to sell them to raise much needed funds for the Sanctuary and also to let everybody have the opportunity to taste the quality bakes! So please make a note of ingredients used. Thank you!
So whether you are a seasoned baker, a happy amateur or someone who’s never baked a cake in their life, grab an apron and get baking! Good Luck!
GRAND OPENING OF OUR NEW CATTERY PENS BY OUR PRESIDENT, GEMMA ATKINSON!
We really needed to update some of our cattery pens, which would also enable us to house more cats. We were lucky enough to secure Grants from the Pets At Home Foundation, Battersea and the Bolton Guild of Help which enabled us to get stuck in! These are now nearly complete, bar a few touches here and there, so Gemma will be coming to open them officially on the Day! Come along and celebrate with us – we are over the moon! Opening will take place at 1 p.m.
Hope to see you all there and thank you for your support
