Members of a borough motorcycling organisation revealed their softer side when they visited Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre (DBARC).
Bikers from Thames Valley Coalition (TVC) handed over a cheque for £500 to support the shelter.
While they were there, they took an opportunity to cuddle some of the puppies currently being looked after by the charity’s volunteers.
Paul from TVC said: “When people see bikers, they see…bikers, with the reputation TV has given them.
“They rarely see the charity work we do in the background.”
The riders come from a number of local motorcycle clubs in the Thames Valley, including: The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) Red Devils Motorcycle Club (RDMC), Savages M.C, 20-22, Baphomet Brotherhood, Wolfriders M.C.C, White Knights, Take a chance, and Reading Motorcycle Action Group.
Together the clubs have formed a collective: ‘Thames Valley Coalition, which raises money for worthwhile causes throughout the year.
“Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre is just one of the many charities we support,” said Paul.
“They were delighted to see us.”
