Oakham House Gets Spooky for a Good Cause: Spider Invasion Raises Funds for Choose Love

Oakham House Gets Spooky for a Good Cause: Spider Invasion Raises Funds for Choose Love

This Halloween, a house on Princess Avenue in Oakham, Rutland, is getting a unique makeover – a spider infestation! But fear not, these eight-legged guests are all in the name of charity. The homeowners are hosting a spooky spectacle to raise funds for Choose Love, a global organisation supporting refugees and displaced people.

Choose Love's story began in 2015 with a simple hashtag, a call to action from a group of friends collecting donations for refugees in Calais. Today, they've grown into a powerful movement, providing vital support across over 30 countries. They respond to emergencies with search and rescue, medical care, and essential supplies. But Choose Love doesn't stop there. They also empower refugees to rebuild their lives, offering mental health services and educational opportunities.

So, back to the spiders! This creative Halloween display aims to raise awareness for Choose Love's vital work.  The house on Princess Avenue will be crawling (figuratively, of course) with creepy crawlies, creating a spooky spectacle for trick-or-treaters and passers-by.  But alongside the chills and thrills, there will be information about Choose Love and how people can contribute to this worthy cause.
