CHARITIES AND COMMUNITY
Our Charity Of The Year
Calne Pet Supplies is proud to be associated with charitable causes and in our first year of trading,
we supported Hounds for Heroes, a charity launched in February 2010 to train and provide assistance dogs to injured and disabled service men and women of both the UK Armed Forces and the Emergency Services.
In our second year, we supported Bath Cats and Dogs Home and in our third year Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Our fourth year, saw Calne Wild Bird & Animal Rescue, run entirely on a not-for-profit basis, receive much needed funds and donated items. Sadly, this had to close for personal reasons half way through the year so fund raising continued for HedgehogsJoy of Devizes.
As our fifth year progresses, our new charity will be adopted. This will be The British Hen Welfare Trust. There will be a collection tin by the till, a fund-raising competition or two and occasionally eggs to purchase from Julia's own ex-battery hens, rehomed by her in April 2019!
Calne Pet Supplies also acts as a drop-off point for donations to PawsForPets Pet Foodbank which are passed on weekly.
Established at the beginning of 2019, this is a volunteer led organisation that aims to help local people in need with their pets. They happily accept dry and wet food for dogs and cats as well as foods for small animals. Foods that have been opened are also accepted as long as they are in their original packaging and in date. Wormers and flea treatments are also much needed.
