Sponsored dog walks 2009
The Take the Lead sponsored dog walks were held on Saturday 3rd October and Sunday 4th October 2009. Once again the walks were sponsored by Royal Canin who provided a dog lead for all participants plus a prize to the person who raised the most money at each walk. The weather was great this year and there were many happy walkers - both two and four legged!
Canine Supporters Charity donation
The Animal Cancer Trust was presented with a cheque for £6,000 from the Canine Supporters Charity on 12th September 2009 at the Richmond Championship Dog Show held near Guildford. What a marvellous boost to our funds - thank you to the Board of the Canine Supporters Charity for recognising the Trust. This is now the fourth year that the Animal Cancer Trust has been a beneficiary and we are truly delighted! The monies received have been put to good use helping fund the training provided to groups such as veterinary nurses, groomers and even veterinary surgeons.
Thank you to our team in the office!
A big thank you to the workers in the office who keep everything ticking over from day to day. Without their work the Trust would not be operating. Here is a picture of Rhian who looks after the work of the Animal Cancer Trust answering telephone enquiries and emails as well as dealing with the correspondence. Thank you Rhian!
Major sponsor & supporter of the Animal Cancer Trust!

In 2007 and 2008 they helped us produce our new leaflet and poster amongst other things. In 2009 we are in the process of producing a new information leaflet which will be designed and printed by Royal Canin. They have helped in so many other areas and are a delight to work with.
Royal Canin are the headline sponsors and closely involved with the nationwide dog walk, 'Take the Lead'.
