Our first Open Day of the year was a HUGE success. Loads of people, loads of dogs and we raised over £1567. Thank you to everyone who came and/or helped out. Come and join us at our next our Open Day on the 21st of May.

We applied to the Alan Boswell Charitable Trust for money for a new shed, a tumble dryer and a pallet of food – just over £3k in total and we have heard that we have been successful!
One of our volunteers, Martin Adcock, told us about the opportunity – so big thanks to him.
And of course a big thank you to the Alan Boswell Charitable Trust

Great news. We are one of the six greyhound and lurcher rehoming groups to be awarded a share of a £8000 food donation. Thank you to everyone who nominated us and thank you to Burgess Pet Care for the generous donation.

Meet our newest member of kennel staff, Dana Wright. She has been appointed part time to make sure we always have two people on duty at the kennels.
She is quickly learning the ropes and has a love of greyhounds. She is currently fostering Lazar and doing a wonderful job for him.
We all wish her well.

The last Open Day of the year (and auction) was attended by large number of people mostly with their hounds. Well over £1000 was raised.

Date for your diaries. The next Open Day is on Sunday 2nd April 2023

Homefinders have been fortunate enough to be awarded financial help from The Support Adoption for Pets – we applied for their support with staff costs and our ongoing utility bills, like rent and poo disposal. You may know of them through Pets At Home. So many charities are deserving of their help, especially at this time so we’re are delighted they have given us £7000. Molly did a fabulous virtual tour of the kennels on Zoom for their Fundraising Manager. And Jo, one of the Trustees, did the other stuff. There will be an article about it in our next newsletter.
