Help Combat Social Isolation ............................... Kendall & Wall Charitable Trust aims to combat social isolation by taking less mobile people on outings in its wheelchair accessible minibuses with friendly and talented volunteers to drive the buses, push wheelchairs and lend an arm or an ear to make the clients’ day enjoyable. Set up in 2012, Kendall & Wall now has more than 300 regular clients living in a 25 mile radius of Lichfield. Twenty five volunteers, many of them retired nurses, doctors and carers, look after clients who quickly become friends. A day out could involve a theatre or canal boat trip, or a stately home visit, and usually includes a pub meal, plus lots of conversation and happy memories. Do you have some time to spare to volunteer? If you can talk to people and want to help Kendall & Wall can teach you to manage a wheelchair or drive a minibus. For more information about volunteering, or if you wish to donate, visit www.kendallandwall.org or phone 01543 897131. Make a Difference in 2020! By Lauren Hirst, Greyhound Trust Hall Green ............................... Recently the lovely Cali was the 2,500th hound to find a loving home by Greyhound Trust’s Hall Green branch. Cali celebrated her retirement by wearing a fetching tiara to mark the occasion! We know this cheeky girl will have a fabulous new life with her new owners, Sadie and Josh. Hall Green homed just short of 200 dogs in 2019 and we’d like to find even more homes in 2020. But 28 of the 40 hounds in our kennels are black. Did you know that black dogs wait longer to be adopted than their lighter pals? No one really knows why. They are just as loyal and loving as any other dog and, with proper care, their coats shine and gleam in the sunshine. So why are there so many black hounds? Many years ago a black top champion racer called Top Honcho became a very sought after stud dog, siring thousands of puppies worldwide and so black genes are dominant – this explains the increase in black greyhounds. If your New Year’s resolution is to make a difference, remember, black is beautiful in the greyhound world. Adopting one greyhound won’t change the world but the world will surely change for that one black greyhound. 18 Visit our website at www.greyhoundtrusthallgreen.org.uk, or call us on 0121 426 4810, to arrange to meet Athos, Gandalf, Lola, Mike, Zany, Rosie and all our other black beauties! Hall Green is completely run by volunteers so please get in touch if you want to help by walking or even just socialising with these amazing dogs at our Shenstone or Hagley kennels.
