Metheringham Animal Welfare Supporters (or MAWS for short) was formed in 2000 by a group of volunteers in the Lincolnshire village ably led by Joyce Muncey.
We work hard to raise funds which are then donated to four Lincolnshire animal organisations chosen by our members at our AGM every year in August.
Following Founder Joyce Muncey’s death in November 2023, MAWS has been able to recommence the sterling work she started.
We have had procedural problems with sorting out the MAWS paperwork, but should now start getting back to normal and will be looking to recommence fundraising events in the coming year.
A new Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer have been appointed and the accounts for the financial year 14 August 2023 to 13 August 2024 were presented at the AGM held on 21 November 2024.
The AGM was understandably late due to the paperwork surrounding Joyce’s death and the handover of MAWS.
It was agreed that membership should increase from £1 to £5 per annum as this had remained unchanged since inception and no longer covered even just the basic cost of the public liability insurance.
We desperately need new members, and for past members to hopefully renew their membership, so please use the Join Us page to find out how and allow us to honour Joyce’s wish to continue MAWS legacy of fundraising on behalf of local Lincolnshire charities.
