Staff at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter are keeping warm this winter thanks to a blossoming partnership with Guerilla Communications, an award-winning Brand Communication Agency known for its vibrant community spirit and innovative approach.
In late 2023, the Guerilla team paid a special visit to the Shelter, bringing with them not just their infectious enthusiasm but also a generous donation of new uniforms for Shelter staff and volunteers.
Each year, the dedicated staff and volunteers at the Shelter work tirelessly 365 days per year to care for, reunite and rehome nearly 1,000 animals per year. New uniforms will keep our staff and volunteers warm, so that they can give animals the best care needed before being rehomed or reunited.
Linda Allen, Director of Guerilla, captured the essence of our shared values: “At Guerilla, we’re all about local community and making a real difference.” This sentiment resonates deeply with the Shelter’s ethos, as it continually strives to foster a community where every animal’s welfare is a top priority.
As the chilly winds of change usher in the colder months, the team at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter can now face the elements in style and comfort, thanks to the new uniforms provided by its friends at Guerilla.
Iain Riddell, Fundraising and Marketing Manager at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter added:
“2023 has been a year of incredible generosity and community spirit with the help of amazing local businesses such as Guerilla Communications. Their efforts have not only brought comfort and joy to the animals we care for but have also inspired others to join our cause. It is with great appreciation that we honour Guerilla Communications as one of our ‘Shelter Star’ in 2023, and will shortly be launching our 2024 Shelter Star scheme encouraging others to take part.”
