Rabbit Awareness Week 2012



I'm supporting Rabbit Awareness Week.

Rabbits are the UK's 3rd most popular pet. This is because they are highly intelligent, social, interactive and fun creatures that are extremely clean and can even be litter trained. They have very individual and distinct personalities, and often live over ten years of age - making them every bit as worthwhile investing in as dogs and cats!

Despite all this there are still a lot of myths and misinformation around the best care for pet rabbits, and indeed their welfare needs. It's actually very easy when you know how......

Rabbit Awareness Week (RAW) is an annual event, where rabbit experts such as vets, pet retailers, welfare charities and manufacturers work together during a dedicated week to educate the pet owning public about proper rabbit care and welfare.


Let's stop rabbits getting a RAW deal! http://www.rabbitawarenessweek.co.uk/

National Craft and Design Month May 2012


Lana's Cards and Crafts is supporting Craft and Design Month May 2012 - a brand new initiative designed to raise awareness of the enormous amount of creative talent we have in this country. 
  
Craft and Design Month is a ‘not for profit’ initiative launched by craft&design  magazine.  The magazine’s editor, Angie Boyer, explains: There are many thousands of craftsmen and women who manufacture and sell their products in the UK and to the overseas markets who are completely overlooked by newspapers reporting on the demise of domestic manufacturing. 

“In fact, the Crafts Council has reported that there are around 35,000 contemporary craftsmen and women with a collective turnover of around £1billion.  Crafts is incredibly important to the economy but also to our wellbeing and way of life.  If we don’t use the talents of people on our doorstep, they will disappear forever.  We hope that by shining the spotlight on the skills of craftsmen and women throughout the country, the general public will think twice about who to go to when they need something for the home.   If we succeed in that, Craft and Design Month will have served its purpose.”

For further information on Craft and Design Month May 2012, including details of other events in your area, please visit: www.craftanddesignmonth.net

We’re supporting Craft and Design Month.  Are you?
