It’s a busy few weeks here at Teckels, and we’d love you to join us. From festive fairs to pop up stalls, charity performances, food bank collections and our magical Winter Ball, there’s something for everyone. Here’s your full round-up of what’s happening across November and December.
20th November – Teckels Pet Food Bank

22nd November – Tesco Quedgeley Bucket Collection

If you’re passing, please stop for a chat and pop in whatever you can spare – every coin truly helps.
29th November – Donation Drive
10am to 1pm, Christ Church Hall, The Chipping, Tetbury, GL8 8ET
