Mel Hunter, Media Coordinator at RSPCA Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside said: “As a small branch team, we are thrilled to be able to host an event which not only shares in a nationwide celebration of the RSPCA, but one which allows us to focus strongly on our local areas.

"We are passionate about having a stronger presence within our community, and an event like this allows us to build an awareness of what we do, as well as helping us to raise essential funds to support local animals in need.

"We hope to offer a great day out for the whole family, with plenty of games and activities. These are the types of events that allow us to connect to our community as a way of supporting the important work we do for animals. And, we hope, the first of many.”

The charity is independent and receives no government funding and solely relies on donation from the public to stay afloat and support animals.

Families are encouraged to bring picnic chairs and blankets and spend the day by the coast supporting a good cause.

The event takes place Saturday, 18 June at Seaburn Park, 10am to 4pm.
