Patch Delivering Pigmas Food to Rescues
Friends! I would like to tell you about my Pigmas Campaign 2025, where I delivered bags of food to rescue friends in the East Midlands! In the run up to Pigmas, many supermarkets put vegetables, such as carrots and sprouts on sale at as little as 5p a bag! When you think about it, that’s a lot of piggy food somebody could buy for a pound, or even for 20p!
I wanted to take the opportunity to help rescue piggies as much as possible, especially given that the sale prices meant donations could stretch so much further! I ran a fundraising campaign, asking humans to donate to help me buy vegetables for rescue piggies. My human trustees very kindly offered to double all the donations, to make the generous donations we received from the public go even further!
I really enjoyed going round Aldi to buy the vegetables! It’s unusual for a piggy to enjoy going out, but I almost cannot contain my excitement when I’m in a vegetable aisle, but despite this, I’ve always just known that I can’t eat anything in the trolley until we’ve been to the till to pay for it!
I personally delivered around £240 of food to four rescues;
Honeybunnies, who have around 20 piggies and 20 bunnies,
Neville’s Nest, who have around 30 piggies,
Little Garden Farm, who have around 30 piggies, and
Mansfield Guinea Pig Rescue, who have around 70 piggies!
It was wonderful meeting the hard working, devoted humans who run the rescues and look after the piggies. I was so pleased to have been able to deliver one wheek’s worth of fresh foods to 4 rescues, making sure the piggies had plenty of food over Pigmas! I even put in a few packets of herbs for each rescue, to make sure that the piggies got something extra special for their Pigmas dinners!
Thank you to all of the humans who so kindly and so generously donated! I could not do what I do without your help!
Lots of love, Patch Xxx
