Chairman's Charity

The Chairman of Croxley Green Parish Council, Marion Birch, has announced that her Charity of the Year will be the Dogs Trust at Harefield Rehoming Centre.

Dogs Trust Harefield opened in March 2006 and is one of 18 Dogs Trust Rehoming Centres in the UK and Ireland. The 16 acre plot of farmland has state of the art facilities; including 75 glass fronted kennels, six exercise paddocks, a Veterinary Suite, a Puppy Block complete with outdoor Puppy Palace, and a tea room open to the public. Staff at the Rehoming Centre care for over 150 dogs at any one time and endeavour to find loving new homes for over 1000 dogs each and every year.

Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity and they receive no government funding. The charity cares for over 16,000 stray and abandoned dogs every year in the UK, and also help dogs in need overseas. Dogs Trust also promote dog welfare through educational, neutering and lobbying campaigns, and continue to work towards the day when no healthy dog is ever destroyed.

Various fundraising events will be planned for the year in Croxley Green, many with a ‘doggy’ theme. Keep an eye on the Parish Council website for details.
