Plymouth Oddfellows provide supplies for Woodside Animal Welfare Trust
Plymouth’s ‘Pride of the West with St. Andrew’s Lodge’ of the Plymouth and Truro District Oddfellows has recently supported the Woodside Animal Welfare Trust and Sanctuary which is based in Plympton.
In arranging for the local animal welfare charity to be supplied with a wide selection of foodstuffs and treatments, Bro. Michael O’Leary, Noble Grand – in effect Chair – of the Plymouth Oddfellows said, “The remarkable and valuable work carried out by this local animal welfare charity is plainly evident and we are very pleased to have assisted them in this way. As well as making every effort to support our members during these economically difficult times, we always do our bit to assist local charities and other good causes in Plymouth and across Cornwall as well. The increasing numbers of abandoned pets and the amazing work carried out by Woodside was brought to our attention and we thought this to be an excellent cause and in need of a little bit of help. Our friendly society has been around since at least 1810 and we proudly stand by our motto of ‘Friendship, Love and Truth’.”
Michael added, “We gather at the St. Budeaux Community Centre in Wolseley Road, Plymouth and also have a very successful lunch group which is run by Katherine to whom we remain very grateful.”
The Woodside Animal Welfare Trust maintains an information packed website at: https://www.woodsidesanctuary.org.ukwhich contains much more on the work of the charity and how to support and contact it.
The Oddfellows meet for a variety of activities in Redruth, Truro, Plymouth and other locations and with all the benefits of a well-established friendly society, the Oddfellows always welcomes new members of all ages and genders and all enquiries should be directed to the Provincial Secretary, Bro.
