Impact Charity and Club Cars

IMPACT CHARITY has a new car thanks to the generosity and support of Jack and Lyn from Club Cars in La Marina. Last week Club Car’s owner Jack presented the car to Christine from Impact with the keys of their new car which she said “this will be a huge help to the work we do in and around the region.”

Impact was founded in 2007 with opening of their first Charity Shop and to date, they have donated more than 57,000 to local worthy causes. In 2012, the local council passed a new bylaw regarding fundraising performed by non-registered charities, which effectively closed down a number of local groups, among them PAWS who had been carrying out a cat neutering program on local feral cats. Having helped PAWS in the past, Impact decided to take over the neutering program and have neutered over 50 cats,

Since April 2013 they have taken in 33 kittens off the La Marina streets and presently have 39 cats and kittens that are up for adoption with more information on their Facebook page, ‘Impact Charity’. Impact visit the Vet on a daily basis for vaccinations, neutering, spaying or preparing the cats to travel to destinations in Europe and the UK.

Club Cars La Marina donation of the car to Impact “is not only a great help, but also an amazing gesture from a local business. Lyn makes regular visits to see our kittens, donating food and cat litter to help us. Jack and Lyn are also fostering four kittens and their mother for us, that was recently found. We can’t thank them enough for this, which will allow us to deliver cats to their new homes in the surrounding area, for emergency vet trips and to respond quickly, if required.”

Christine also wanted to thank John ‘Bronson’ Birch for offering to maintain the car, Jeff Shields and the team of Elite Body Shop in Los Montesinos for respraying and refurbishing the car, Donna from Right Move Insurance for insurance.
