Taking part in an event or organising your own for Forever Hounds Trust is a really great way to support our work- and perhaps try something new!
The money you raise helps us rescue and care for greyhounds and lurchers across the country – we simply couldn’t do what we do without your generosity. For example, just £30 can buy soft warm bedding for a dog in kennels, £150 can pay for the neutering of a dog or £300 can keep five dogs safe, warm and well-fed in kennels for five days.
Fancy organising a quiz night, bake sale or zumbathon to raise pounds for the hounds? Take a look at our Fundraising Pack for lots of tips and guidance and get in touch to let us know about your ideas or to discuss doing one! We will give you full support to make your fundraising a success!
If you are limited by Covid-19 restrictions why not check out our guide to remote fundraising?
