SIR,
Our organization The Cinnamon Trust is in great need of help from anyone who would be willing to do a little dog walking for elderly owners who live in the NP25 Wyesham postal area. There are elderly people in this area who have dogs and are unable to walk them.
Cinnamon Trust is the national charity for elderly and terminally ill people and their pets. We seek to keep owner and pet together for as long as possible with the help of a national network of volunteers who assist when any aspect of day to day care poses a problem.
Could you help an elderly person to keep their dog? Without someone to walk the dog elderly people can be forced to give up a much loved pet which is often their only companion.
We do not expect volunteers to go out every day with the dog we try to match at least 2-3 volunteers per household so that the task can be shared.
As well as dog walking we also look for people to assist with short term 'Pet Fostering' when owners face a short spell in hospital or transporting a pet to the vet's for its elderly owner.
We are always seeking new volunteers and anyone with even an hour a week to spare can make a huge difference!
Potential volunteers are asked to ring 01736 757900 during office hours to register or email [email protected]">[email protected] for an information pack or download a form from http://www.cinnamon.org.uk/donations">www.cinnamon.org.uk/donations.
Anyone with any questions or who would like a little more information on any of the above, please do give us a call.
We would be very grateful for your help, thank you
Sherry Carne
