AN ANIMAL rescue centre in the town is encouraging children to get involved with its latest fundraising effort to support the vital charity.
Dogs Trust Evesham is encouraging young families and nurseries to participate in a PAW Patrol sponsored walk in October. All ages are welcome to join in.
PAW Patrol on a stroll is inspired by the top-rated animated preschool series of the same name.
Those wanting to take part can visit Dogs Trust’s website to sign up. Then its as simple as picking a day for your sponsored walk and using the fundraising page which is created for you to share your efforts and generate donations.
Participants will receive a fun activity pack and will have their own fundraising page, alongside a fundraising activity guide with a host of fundraising ideas and tips.
All of the donations raised by ‘little heroes’ will help dogs get the love and care they need.
Dogs Trust want to help children to understand how to form safe and healthy friendships with dogs – just like PAW Patrol’s Ryder has with little ones’ favourite rescue pups.
In 2023, Dogs Trust delivered Dog Safety Workshops to 481,534 children.
Owen Sharp, chief executive of Dogs Trust said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with PAW Patrol for a second year.
“It’s fantastic to see young people coming together through this engaging initiative with the aim of raising essential funds for the important work we do at Dogs Trust.
“As the UK’s largest dog welfare charity with decades of expertise and experience at our fingertips, we do everything we can for every dog in our care to prepare them for the future they deserve, as quickly as we can, so that they spend less time in kennels. And, once they are in forever homes, we support them for as long as they need.
“The funds raised through this activity will be crucial to ensure we are able to meet the needs of all the dogs we support.”
