Shop News - Oct 2011
The
shop has been very busy this summer. We are constantly surprised and
very pleased with the amount of goods donated – it certainly keeps us
all busy and you never know what you might find!
We
had a stall again this year at the Winton Carnival which raised over £400
and we were fortunate for the third year running to have a lovely sunny
day for this event. I am very grateful to our volunteers who kindly gave
up their time to make the day so successful. We also carried out Street
Collections in Fordingbridge, Ringwood and Dorchester this summer
although we were a little short of helpers.
Supermarket
collections have become increasingly popular, are easy to arrange and
are well supported by the public. Would you be interested in organising
one at your local supermarket with a few friends/relatives and
your dogs? I would be happy to offer any help or advice if needed.
Please
keep sending in your used postage stamps, any silver and gold jewellery
(even if broken), used ink cartridges and mobile phones. These all help
to bring in vital funds for Greyhounds in Need.
Let’s
hope there are more sunny days to come before winter sets in; happy
fundraising.
Sue

Shop News - Apr 2011
We
were lucky to be chosen by our local Waitrose as one of their charities
for the month of February and Greyhounds in Need will be receiving a
cheque for £319 in the next few weeks.
Please
keep sending us British and foreign stamps; we have made several hundred
pounds for GIN over the last few months from sorting and selling these
in special packs on the internet.
Many
thanks to our supporters who have sent in their unwanted jewellery; some
items have been really exquisite and most interesting.
If
you can come along and help at any of our events we would be pleased to
hear from you. Don’t forget the Great British Greyhound Walk on 26th
June.

If
you have any used postage stamps please send them to the shop –
Penny and Aileen sort these out and raise funds for GIN. Sue
would also be pleased to receive any unwanted jewellery (including
broken gold items). Recently she and Penny were able to raise over £200
from items donated to the shop.
A
special thank you here to Marion and her son who regularly send
parcels to us in Wraysbury with items we can sell at our events or at
the shops. We rarely have a day without a parcel being
delivered to us in Wraysbury and Sue also receives coats from
supporters for the greyhounds and galgos—some photos
here, taken by Saskia, showing the galgos at the Villamartin refuge
modelling coats Sue sent last month.

all, My name is Simon. Four months ago Greyhounds in Need

wonderfully to pet life after being a successful racer

Hi
Everyone
This
year is a very special one for us in
Thankfully
more and more people are becoming aware of what wonderful pets
greyhounds and lurchers make. They, too, have been smitten by their
gentle and laid back temperament. Greyhounds are truly very special
dogs.
A
very busy summer is looming ahead with many events already organised
including street and store collections, our annual sponsored walk and,
the highlight of this year, our 10-year Celebration Fair and BBQ at the
Greyhounds in Need Shop, Bournemouth.
We
will need lots of help to make these events successful so please let me
hear from you very soon!
THE
GALGOS/GREYHOUNDS NEED YOUR SUPPORT !
Regards,
Sue
