Food and drink will be served at an animal shelter on Sunday to raise money to stop its closure.

The Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service in Trent Country Park will sell Scottish rump steak rolls and serve mulled wine for visitors between 11pm and 2.30pm.

The event comes after the success of the festive day at the centre on Sunday December 9, which raised £625 through the sale of mince pies and mulled wine.

All the money raised this Sunday will go to the centre, which treats injured, trapped or abandoned wild animals in the on-site hospital before releasing them back into the wild if possible.

An impressive £2,735 has been raised since the Enfield Independent launched a campaign on November 13 to raise £5,000 for the centre to stop its possible closure in January.

The animal hospital - which is the last wildlife animal hospital in London - ran into financial difficulty after visitor numbers dropped due to the wet summer last year.

Barry Smitherman, who runs the shelter with his wife June, said: “The last event was so successful we are going to do another one so see if we can raise as much money as we can.”
