The Mayor of Oldham, Councillor Ginny Alexander
The Mayor of Oldham’s final donation of the year - £300 - has gone to a fab organisation PHAB a self-funding not-for-profit community charity group run by volunteers.
Formed in 2000, the organisation was opened and run by the present chair Jack Edwards who started the group because of his daughter Donna has a severe disability and there was nowhere for her to go.
The group’s motto is: “Making More Of A Life Together” and enables young adults with physical and learning disabilities and difficulties and able bodied to enjoy social interaction in a safe community environment.
Oldham Cats has been rescuing cats and kittens in the town since 1996
Oldham s pet-loving Mayor has made a £500 donation to the town’s unsung cat rescue centre to help with vets fees for sick animals.
And councillor Ginny Alexander pleaded with owners to have cats neutered or spayed to help stop them wandering, fighting and unwanted kittens being abandoned.
Oldham Cats has been rescuing cats in the town since 1996 before moving to Middleton in 1998.
They now have an admissions unit where cats have to have a seven-day holding period.
No cat or kittens are allowed to proceed to any rehome unit until they have been fully monitored.
