Princessess, superheroes and puppies – Kathryn and Becky’s Fundraising Story
Posted 6 years ago in the Volunteers and fundraisers category
Princess Parties Hull team up with some of our wonderful volunteers to spread awareness and raise £200 at Asda in Hull.
On Saturday 23 June, customers of Asda in Hull were greeted by a sight for sore eyes when they met princesses, superheroes…and puppies!
Kathryn Adams and her identical twin sister Becky own a Princess Parties business in Hull and after recently meeting some of our puppy parents from our Hull satellite group, they were keen to help fundraise for us.
On fundraising for Canine Partners, Kathryn said:
“We’ve always had a love for animals, especially Labradors, and have raised money before for different charities but after seeing the amazing work your dogs do, we wanted to help.”
So, at 11 am on Saturday morning, princesses and superheroes teamed up with members of our Purple Family to say hello to customers as they came to do their weekly shop.
There was a constant flow of people wanting photos and cuddles with the dogs, and lots of leaflets were handed out to spread the word about Canine Partners.
Our wonderful volunteers were on hand to answer any questions about the charity as well.
The group were even joined by local MP Diana Johnson, who tweeted about meeting our amazing dogs:
Had a lovely morning meeting wonderful dogs from @canine_partners helping people get on with their lives by helping with everyday tasks. They were outside @asda Kingswood Hull, along with some local Super Hero’s, Captain America, Wonder Woman and Spider Man! pic.twitter.com/T7uYZoGCuV

In addition to raising awareness of our work, Princess Parties Hull and our volunteers were able to raise a fantastic £200!
A big thank you to all of the princesses, superheroes and Purple Family members for giving up their time and to the generous customers at Asda who donated.
