Buttercups News

Donation from PHSC plc

PHSC plc have generously offered to help Buttercups improve the welfare and hygiene facilities for both volunteers and visitors to the sanctuary by helping us with the cost of installing a new toilet block.

PHSC plc is a Kent-based business that offers a range of safety, health and environmental management services to businesses in the private and public sectors. The company supports a number of projects and initiatives within the community as part of its efforts towards corporate social responsibility.

PHSC plc will match, pound-for-pound, money raised by Buttercups towards this project, up to a maximum commitment of £3000.

The Buttercups trustees thank PHSC plc for their kind and generous donation. Although it goes somewhat against the grain to be spending money on the non-goat members of our family, this new toilet block is long overdue and is vital if we are to ensure good standards of health and hygiene are in place at the sanctuary.
