A spokeswoman for RSPCA Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside branch said: “We had a great day engaging with our communities in our Branch areas and it was fantastic to be part of a national RSPCA One Fun Day with events being held right across the UK.

“Our Branch covers quite a wide area – Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside – so we appreciate all the donations that helped us raise just under £300 from this event, which will go towards helping animals that are neglected, abandoned and abused in our Branch areas.

“We’d like to thank all the volunteers, stall holders, performing acts, activity providers and everyone who participated, and we’ll be back next year for the next annual RSPCA One Fun Day!”
