Help needed for charity that helps elderly people look after pets
2:00pm Saturday 8th September 2012 in News
A NATIONAL charity that helps the elderly look after their pets is appealing for help in Knutsford.
The Cinnamon Trust is the national charity formed to support the elderly and terminally ill and their much loved, much needed pets.
Volunteers help to keep owners and pets together either by walking a dog for a housebound owner, fostering pets when the owners need hospital care and even cleaning out a bird cage.
Unfortunately they have a shortage of volunteers in the Bexton ward of Knutsford who are able to offer some much needed walks for a cute little Miniature Schnauzer.
The Cinnamon Trust is desperate for volunteers in this area. Even if you can only offer an hour a week it will improve the dog’s quality of life so much and give the owner peace of mind.
To help, call Sally on 01736 758707 or email: volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk.
