The Big Give Christmas Challenge has now finished and Faye wants to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who donated!
Together, we raised an AMAZING £23,578.75!
THANK YOU!
Faye is now happily homed (watch her journey from kennels to meet her mum and dad), but there will be many more hounds needing our help.
The work doesn’t stop there – the more funds we raise, the more hounds we can help, and we need to be ready for the hounds who will inevitably need our support throughout 2026. To learn more about the work we do, please take a look at our annual publication, Newshound, below. Without your vital donations, none of the stories within would have been possible, and the lives of many of the hounds featured could have been very different indeed.
If you haven’t already, please also watch the video below to see the incredible difference we make to the lives of the hounds that come into our care, including ex racer Faye who was no longer wanted or needed, due to the upcoming closure of Swindon Greyhound Stadium. On arrival into our care she had to have 25 teeth removed to relieve her pain and prevent future infection.
So, how can you help and be part of a hounds journey to a better life? Please consider taking part in our Christmas Raffle. You might even be lucky enough to top up your funds depleted from all your Christmas Shopping!
First prize is £250, 2nd £100, 3rd £75, 4th £50 and 5th £25.
The good news is that the deadline for getting payment back to us is Thursday, 8th January 2026, so why not sell some tickets to your family and friends over Christmas so they can help the hounds too? Please email fundraising@foreverhoundstrust.org letting us know your address and how many books you want, we will then get some sent to you. Each book contains 10 tickets, tickets are £1 each.

On behalf of all our hounds, thank you. It is because of you that we can give every dog who comes through our doors the chance of a safe and happy future. With your continued support, we will be here for the next hounds who urgently need us.
