Sponsored pyjama walk taking place in Derry this month in aid of local animal charities

There will be a sponsored pyjama walk taking place in Derry later this month in aid of local animal charities.

The event is held annually and has been organised by local animal lover Carla Hamilton.

It will take place in St Columb's park at 12pm on Sunday April 9.

Funds raised from the walk will go to help local charities PET FBI, Rainbow and 4PoshPaws.

A PET FBI spokesperson said: "Guys we've been given an amazing opportunity to be part of Carla's annual PJ walk and raise much needed funds for ourselves, Rainbow and 4PoshPaws!

"It will take place in St Columb's Park at 12pm on the 9th of April. We'd love to see you and your pups there so please get in touch for sponsor forms.

"Many thanks Carla, we're hoping for a great turn out for what should be a really good laugh, at each other's expense."

Sponsorships can be obtained from the charities involved or by contact Mrs Hamilton directly.
