April has been the start of our big events for the year.
We have been very welcomed at all venues that we have attended, by both staff and the public. We certainly have started the year off really well, with support and financial donations too.
The team are looking forward to enjoying the rest of the year at both events, fairs, walks and spending time with all of our kennel greyhounds.
Brambridge Garden Centre:
This weekend was another successful one, we met some lovely people and some familiar faces too!
We had lots of interest in the greyhounds that attended, greyhound adoption was a key talking point and over the two days we raised £607.37.
Thank you to everyone who donated and came over to talk to us, we are all very grateful.
Kennel Spring Clean:
The team have been working hard at the kennels, getting ready for the new year of events. They have sorted, cleaned and re-stacked all the event/shop store rooms. We have an amazing team of volunteers who all helped sort out these areas, in a very short time!
Next area to be revamped is the ‘greyhound play area’, watch this space for more news, photos to follow!
Walking Our Kennel Greyhounds:
If you would like to help walk our kennel greyhounds, please get in contact, we are always looking for new volunteers to help us and the greyhounds certainly enjoy their 1:1 attention. All walks are local to Southampton and take place within a group situation.
