Housebuilder serves up a tasty treat for RSPCA animals in Chesterfield

The team at Bellway East Midlands, which is building new homes at Brailsford Park in Wingerworth, set up a collection point for animal food to be donated at its head office.

A proportion of the food was donated to RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire, which works to re-home pets in the area.

Steph McCawley, supporter engagement officer of the RSPCA Chesterfield branch, said: “I’m really thankful for Bellway’s generosity and their kind donation.

“It is such a lovely gesture and it will go to good use here for both the cats and dogs.”

In total, the housebuilder has supported seven different animal charities across the East Midlands.
