The event, was originally due to take place at Coombe Abbey, but with the economic climate and initially slow ticket sales, No Ordinary Hospitality were able to accommodate a change of venue to the prestigious St Mary’s Guildhall. The venue hosted a glamorous evening tinged with a festive touch featuring a three-course dinner, DJ, auctions, raffles, choir and a selfie photobooth. 

“We have been overwhelmed by the support of our community and thrilled to have given them such a wonderful evening where we could say ‘thank you’ whilst also raising much needed funds” said Wendy Harris, Coordinator of Coventry Cats Protection. 

“The RSPCA Coventry & District is a great believer in working with other charities. Holding this event with Coventry Cats Protection was a brilliant way to do exactly that while raising awareness alongside creating a fabulous evening” said Emma Davies, Marketing and Fundraising Manager of the RSPCA Coventry & District branch.

Trustees of the RSPCA Coventry & District were in attendance alongside the CEO of Cats Protection to see over £3,000 being raised which will make a difference to each charity. The dramatic increase in cat abandonments across the region, alongside the cost-of-living crisis impacting on all pet owers, the funds will help each charity rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals across Coventry and beyond. 

The night wouldn’t have been possible without the support of sponsors, including Coventry’s Dawson Group, Baxter Baristas and DogTherapy UK as well as corporate volunteers including Selfie Photobooth, TV Trevor Photography and the Nexus Institute of Creative Arts alongside all who donated auction and raffle prizes.
