We are very proud to announce our BIG event of the year…. ‘THE BIG WALK’.
6 brave volunteers will walk 40 miles in 32 hours on the 31st Aug – 1st Sep 2024.
We have an excellent support team who will support the walkers and greyhounds along the way.
In 2022 we moved from our old kennels in Fleet to our new home in Southampton. To celebrate this we are embarking on ‘THE BIG WALK’ by walking the 40 miles between our old home and new.
We are aiming to raise £4,000, £100 for every mile!
This money will go towards buying a paddock for our dogs to do what they love – run free!
Please join us and support the team by donating to this excellent cause.
The walkers are working hard, ensuring the route is feasible and are training each week ready for the start date.
More information will be available nearer the time on timings and the route, it would be lovely if you could meet us along the way and support the team.
Summer Fair Thank You:
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.
Our Car-Boot Team need your HELP:
Their stock is pretty low which means they will soon not be able to attend anymore car-boot sales and therefore not be able to raise funds for our kennel dogs. We desperately need your help. If you have any items that are suitable for car-boot sales, please get in contact.
The following items are needed:
Jewellery (real or costume) includes broken gold/silver etc.
Watches (pocket’ wrist’ working or not)
Kitchen small appliances & kitchenware
Small Electronics
Phones, Cameras and Laptops
Tools (garden or DIY) & Garden Ornaments
Boxed Games, Jigsaws & Children’s Toys
Smellies (boxed or single)
Cigar boxes & Brass items
Vinyls
Dog leads, collars, toys, coats etc.
We cannot take – books, CD’s, clothes or shoes.
If your item is not on this list please do email in and ask if we can take it.
Please email [email protected] or alternatively contact us on [email protected]. These items are vital to our success as they bring in considerable and much needed funds for the greyhounds in our care.
