With a focus for helping our community, we decided to think about charities that we are able to help and how we can help. We decided to support
our beloved four-legged companions and those who take care of them, by donating Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to Dogs Trust in Darlington, to help and support them in safeguarding both humans and animals during challenging times.
Amidst the ongoing global health crisis, PPE has become a critical resource for front line workers. While we often associate PPE with healthcare
professionals, it’s essential to recognise that animal welfare organisations also require protective gear. Dogs Trust, a leading charity dedicated to
canine welfare, relies on the tireless efforts of its staff and volunteers to care for thousands of dogs across the UK and beyond.
Our donation provides essential protective equipment, that enables Dogs Trust to continue their vital work without compromising safety. Whether it’s ensuring proper hygiene during feeding, administering medications, or handling rescue operations, PPE plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe environment for everyone involved.

Their Mission
Dogs Trust’s mission is simple yet profound: to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary
destruction. Since 1891, they have tirelessly worked toward this goal, advocating for canine welfare and championing the rights of our furry companions.
What Dogs Trust Do
- Rescue and Rehoming: When a dog is in distress, Dogs Trust steps in. They provide shelter, medical care, and love to abandoned, mistreated, or neglected dogs. Their network of rehoming centres ensures that every dog has a chance at finding a loving forever home.
- Education and Training: Dogs Trust believes in empowering dog owners. Through initiatives like Dog School, they offer training and behavioural support to help dogs and their families build strong bonds.
- Campaigns and Advocacy: Dogs Trust actively campaigns for better legislation and policies related to dog welfare. They tackle issues such as puppy farming, illegal breeding, and responsible ownership.
- Canine Care Card: For dog owners who worry about their pets’ future, Dogs Trust provides the Canine Care Card. This card ensures that if something happens to the owner, their beloved dog will be cared for by the trust.
- Charity Shops: Dogs Trust operates a network of charity shops where pre-loved items find new homes. These shops not only raise funds but also promote sustainable living by recycling and re-purposing goods.
As we navigate challenging times, let us remember that our furry friends also need protection and care. By supporting organisations like Dogs Trust, we contribute to a brighter future for dogs everywhere. So, whether it’s through donations, volunteering, or adopting a dog, let’s stand together for our loyal companions.
Remember, every act of kindness makes a difference—whether it’s a PPE donation or a wagging tail welcoming you home. ❤️
