Charities The Coffin Scratchers support
Leicester & Leicestershire Animal Aid Association (LAA) is a sanctuary and rehoming centre for unwanted and stray dogs and cats with accommodation for up to 75 dogs and 35 cats.
LAA was founded in 1956 by Dorothea Farndon. Throughout its existence LAA has helped many thousands of animals, who would otherwise have faced a bleak future.
Heart Link was set up in 1981 as a support group for parents and families who have a child with a heart defect. 25 years on, the charity has done better than anyone could have imagined, raising over £2.5million to transform the children’s heart unit at Glenfield Hospital (GH) into one of the best in the country.
