WHILE social distancing regulations have put an end to gatherings and events for the foreseeable future, fund-raisers for the region’s NPOs and charities are going ahead in a virtual format.
Here is a list of the upcoming events that are all being held for worthy causes.
SPCA market day
WHILE this is not a virtual event, strict Covid-19 measures will be in place.
The Richards Bay SPCA will this Saturday, 1 August hold its first market day since lockdown began.
All charity shops will be open from 9am to midday and there is a jungle gym in the kids’ area for the children to play on while mom and dad shop and relax.
There are many bargains to be found, including books, clothing, toys and plants.
Support the open day and this worthy cause, and remember to have a look at the many dogs and cats that are up for adoption.
All Covid-19 measures will be in place. No mask, no entry. A limited number of visitors will be allowed in at a time.
Women’s Day virtual raffle
RICHARDS Bay Family Care is holding a fund-raising raffle in commemoration of Women’s Day.

Competition fund-raiser for Richards Bay SPCA
IT’S competition time at the Richards Bay SPCA and some wonderful prizes are up for grabs!

This is a fund-raising initiative for the SPCA and is R100 per entry.
Tickets can be bought at the Richards Bay SPCA office at Bayview Boulevard in Meerensee during working hours (8am – 3pm, Monday – Friday).
All videos will be viewed by the SPCA committee members who will choose a winner.
