Welcome to the February
issue of The Ackworth Arrow.
Ok folks, wrap up warm, February is going to be cold! The first few days of February will see the temperatures drop below freezing. Make sure your car is ready for the cold spell and your boiler is in good working order! Schools break up on Friday 15th February, if you have plans to escape the chill. What ever you do, I hope you enjoy some quality family time together. The Ackworth Arrow is delivered monthly to nearly every home in Ackworth. If you have a group that needs promoted or an event planned for charity/community involvement, please let me know, we can help promote your group, free of charge. The deadline for the March issue is Wednesday 13th February. The March issue will be distributed the last weekend in February.
Best Wishes Michelle Sidebottom Tel: 07795 387937 michelle@arrowpublications.co.uk www.arrowpublications.co.uk

SPRING INTO SUMMER CLEAN REFRESH REVIVE GARDEN & HOME
Action for animals Last year, RSPCA Doncaster, Rotherham and District Branch spent over 18,500 hours caring for animals brought to us in need; we found homes for over 870 domestic animals and cared for over 350 wildlife; all of which was made possible by generous donations, whether in the form of time, money or items for our shops. We could not survive as a branch without the continued support from our community, so from the team and the animals at your local RSPCA branch, we would like to say a huge ‘thank you’. Going forward, there are many ways to help us with our mission to rehome and rehabilitate animals including volunteering, donating cash or goods, sponsoring us through our Safe Haven programme and attending our events. We have charity shops at Bawtry, Rotherham, Rossington and Thorne. At the Animal Centre we rehome the animals in our care and have a pet shop on site for all your requirements. We also provide a pet cremation service and a memorial garden for your beloved pets. www.rspcadoncasterrotherham.org.uk
