The £'s for Hounds fundraising month has started in earnest at the kennels.  Each weekend in June, weather permitting, we shall have the field open for galloping and nail clipping.  Some days we will have tombolas on the go and on others tea and coffee, so bring some change with you please!

All of the exciting details and events are on the special £’s for Hounds web pages.  The idea is to have one month of frantic fundraising, which means that for the rest of the year we can simply concentrate on the care of the Greyhounds.

The kennels are co-ordinating the month-long raffle.  Take a look at the fabulous prizes that have been donated.  If you e-mail us at kennels@rgtwolverhampton.co.uk we will send you a book of ten raffle tickets to sell on our behalf.  A return envelope will be enclosed for your convenience.

We are hoping to attract friends old and new to help us raise vital funds.  How you do this is entirely up to you.  Let your imagination run wild, you could do an event where you get friends and work colleagues to sponsor you or alternatively you could have a car boot or a cake sale and sell your items to help raise some money.

All we ask is that whatever you decide to do, please contact the kennels on 01922 412212 or email kennels@rgtwolverhampton.co.uk to register your fund-raising event and if you require sponsor forms we can post them out to you.

Greyhounds make wonderful pets and so we are asking for your support to help us raise money which will give us the best opportunity to rehome even more of these fantastic animals.

Good luck, thanks for your support and we look forward to hearing from you.
