Wokingham lovers of literature are being called on to help raise funds for a local charity that saves  and rehabilitates abandoned horses.    Saving Abandoned Fly-Grazing Equines (SAFE) charity began life in 2014 when 38 horses and  ponies were left abandoned in a Binfield field.    In recognition of the charity’s selfless volunteers who give up their time to help the horses and  ponies that have been abandoned or neglected, colleagues at Tesco’s Finchampstead Road  Superstore have chosen SAFE to benefit from its new fundraising bookshelf.    The bookshelf enables customers to donate unwanted books at the store or take a book and leave a  donation, with May and June’s proceeds going towards enabling SAFE volunteers to keep up their  essential work for horses.    Louise Jedras, Community Champion at the Tesco Superstore, said: “SAFE really is an amazing  charity. Without their dedication and hard work, many horses and ponies would not go on to have  the wonderful lives they do. Our fundraising bookshelf has many benefits – it prevents unwanted books going into landfill, benefits a local charity, and keeps adults and children reading for whatever amount of money they wish to donate.  “My colleagues and I keep the bookshelf looking neat and tidy throughout the week, and I keep it  ...
