Festival cancelled

28/7/2021

The forthcoming Folk and Poetry Festival due to take place this Saturday 31st July at the Guggleton has unfortunately been cancelled. Here is a message from Artistic Director Deanne Tremlett...."Dear all, As a team we have decided to cancel the Folk and Poetry Festival. We are disappointed not to see you and thank you and the performers for their understanding. We feel as a team that it is unwise to host a bigger event with the current number of Covid infections. We will offer you small events instead for the future. Thank you for your patience!"

The Cinnamon Trust needs more dog walking volunteers in Stalbridge. They are seeking dog walking volunteers who are able to help elderly or terminally ill pet owners who are unable to take their dogs out for a walk. They have a flexible approach to enable your volunteering to fit around your own lifestyle. Even one walk a week can make all the difference.

The Cinnamon Trust is the national charity for the elderly and terminally ill and their pets. We seek to keep owner and pet together for as long as possible with the help of a national network of volunteers who assist when day to day care poses a problem.
Our aim is to relieve the owners of any worry concerning the welfare of their pets both during and after their own lifetime making us unique amongst charities.
All volunteers help in the ways that are most appropriate to them. Teams take it in turn to visit housebound owners to take the dog for a walk, volunteers foster pets as one of their family when owners face a spell in hospital, they take pets to the vet, even clean out the budgie's cage or cats litter trays. If you would like to register or even have a quick chat about registering just call Sally or Tressa direct on 01736 758707 or email sallycollins@cinnamon.org.uk or tressaherriott@cinnamon.org.uk
The volunteers can gain access to our volunteer page on our website or www.cinnamon.org.uk or by emailing us at volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk
