Paws for a cause: Mayor’s pet photo contest backs local charities
Ellesmere's Mayor, Cllr Liz Woodbridge, ran a pet photo competition throughout the summer holidays with all proceeds to the Mayor's Charities for 2025/2026. Cllr Woodbridge is raising money for Ellesmere's Thursday Club and Ellesmere Carnival Committee.
Ellesmere’s Thursday Club provides an opportunity for the elder members of the town community to meet regularly and make new friends at the Town Hall.
Ellesmere's annual carnival showcases the heart of Ellesmere with floats, live performances and entertainment at The Mere. The Carnival Committee runs events throughout the year, including the great Easter Egg Hunt to fund raise for the event and are always looking for additional volunteers.
Cllr Liz Woodbridge would like to thank everyone who entered the competition and to announce the winners as follows:
Under 11 Winner - Alice Eccles and her dog, Toby
11 - 18 Winner - Thomas & Phoebe Hayes and their dog
18+ Winner - Catherine Wignall and her cat
The winners will receive their prizes at Ellesmere's Town Council meeting on Monday, October 6.
The next event to raise money for The Mayor's Charities is a table top sale at Ellesmere Town Hall on Saturday, November 8, 10am- 2pm.
