Sneak peek inside Morecambe shop which is new premises for animal charity

Wolfwood Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation charity currently has a charity shop on Market Street in Morecambe but with some amazing legacies has now been able to purchase its very own shop.

The new shop will be in the former ‘Afters Dessert Parlour’ building around the corner from the existing shop and is currently being kitted out ready for opening soon.

Wolfwood Trustees said on the Support Wolfwood Animal Rescue Facebook page: “Since Stephen and Amy set up Wolfwood in 2007 the centre and its two charity shops have been run from rented premises.

"It has always been the aim of the charity to own its own shop and due to some amazing legacies, part of that vision is a bit nearer!

"The current Morecambe shop on Market Street with its adjoining units have been for sale for a while.

"It has taken some time to get here, but the Wolfwood animals now own a shop just around the corner, nearer the prom, from the existing one.

"It will be a big improvement on areas for the staff and volunteers to process donations, indeed, a whole floor above the shop. Goods on sale will not be as crowded.

"The new place is a hive of activity at the moment and as soon as we have date for the opening, it will be posted on the Wolfwood Facebook page.

"In the meantime, please continue to donate to the current shop.”

Wolfwood rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured wildlife as well as caring for and finding new loving homes for rescued, unwanted and needy dogs.

It works with local dog wardens, vets and RSPCA officers who bring animals from as far as mid Cheshire and Carlisle.

Qualified staff, with well over twenty years rescue experience, manage the small rescue centre.

Wolfwood is self funded and only requests a donation towards any cost incurred for the homed dog i.e vets fee.

Wolfwood relies on generous donations, fundraising and the revenue from their charity shops which has allowed them to provide accommodation for their wildlife guests, outdoor pens, a safe wildfowl pond and stables.

Plans are in hand to create their very own veterinary led wildlife unit and improve kennelling facilities.

Wolfwood also has a charity shop in Lancaster at 201, Bowerham Road, which is open six days a week.

Donations to either of the charity shops of quality, clean clothes, books, bric a brac, CDs, DVDs etc are much appreciated.
