get those of us that wanted to a way of donating to ACES as a group?

they are as always desperate for vet wrap-always top of their list, I would be happy to organise getting to the ladies over here that send items out or even to post-I have a box of dressings to go as soon as they can take them,
the things they most desire are listed below but other things are welcome and may be sold at stands throughout the year to raise funds-Christmas clear out? maybe think of donating to a worthy cause


Medical
Cohesive bandages (Vetwrap) - We need all sizes for the variety of animals that are treated, it cannot be purchased in Egypt
Horse wormers
Dog, cat, puppy & kitten flea & tick treatment. Spot on Combination treatment is best, but the spray is also very useful ideally frontline as other don't cover for ticks

Dog, cat, puppy & kitten wormers

Sudocrem - Sadly we see a lot of burns cases due to stable fires
Dressings & Bandages of all shapes and sizes ie Animalintex Poultice
Medicated shampoo – for Horses, dogs & cats

Equine
Horse bits of 4 inch and under. Snaffles, gentle bits, or foal bits are needed to take the ‘local’ ones out of circulation!
Head collars – Foal, Pony & Cob sizes - these are given out to Equines in need to replace chain halters
Lead Ropes - We NEVER seem to have enough lead ropes, these are small, light and relatively cheap to buy especially if you tell your saddler that they are for a charity they might do you a special deal!
Fly Fringes
Padded Nose Band Covers - to cover chains that dig into skin!
Misc
Duct tape (or Gaffa tape) is very good for holding bandages and dressings on in awkward areas including holding hoof treatment in place, and we use a lot of it!
Dog Collars & leads – these are not available in Upper Egypt
Puppy Collars
Grooming Equipment – For horses, dogs & cats
Dog & Cat treats (for catching the injured)

they will also take any out of date meds or spot ons as something is better than nothing
 
Could someone tell me who they are? Sorry, I'm out of the loop :o

google ACE animal care in egypt

it will tell you all you need to know

they are still a small enough charity that they do lots of their own fundraising and also take items donated out to Egypt if appropriate rather than just relying on cash donations (although they are very welcome too)
 
I would be delighted to send a box of all that - please can you let me know the procedure ? PM if you prefer, but might be useful info on the main thread.

Am finding out for you, the group I have been involved with are based in essex and the south east but I am looking to see if there are more groups and have asked how you would donate items to them
 
I have a couple of bits at home that might be small enough, I also have access to a wholesale catalogue so could order a bulk set of leadropes for pretty cheap. I'll have a look when I'm at the yard later
 
I can supply lots of flea stuff and probably wormers too - we only use certain brands at work but get lots of good quality stuff donated. I definitely have dressings/vetwrap type stuff around too. Loads of small collars/lightweight leads hanging around also. If/when you get a plan together for sending them an order please let me know and I'll donate all that I can.

I have a lady coming to my work to collect anything I have on 28th Dec as she flies out beginning of Jan, also have a friend flying out on 3rd Jan and I can get stuff to her before she flies. ACE are in the process of discussing trying to get together people all over the UK who are happy to be used as collection points, it will take some time and plenty of effort on their part. there seems to be more of a network already in Essex.
If you are happy to get stuff to me then I can pass it on, if the above dates are missed then it will just go out with the next person traveling, PM if you are happy to post and I will send you my address.
