The Cinnamon Trust. - Dawn Hoskins (12th Jul 2012 - 12:34:24) Whilst at the Parish Office yesterday, I was looking at the many notices and leaflets. I came across a notice for a group I had never heard of before – but which is a fantastic organisation helping the elderly, ill or disabled with their animals. So, I thought I would post it here so more people will know about it and spread the word of their good deeds – and maybe even volunteer as they really need volunteers. The Trust’s primary objective is to respect and preserve the treasured relationship between owners and their pets. To this end it works in partnership with owners to overcome any difficulties that might arise. A national network of over 15,000 community service volunteers has been established to provide practical help when any aspect of day to day care poses a problem - for example, walking the dog for a housebound owner. A national fostering service is provided for pets whose owners face a spell in hospital - volunteers take pets into their own homes and supply love and care in abundance until owner and pet can be reunited. The Cinnamon Trust also provides long term care for pets whose owners have died or moved to residential accommodation which will not accept pets. Arrangements are made between owners and the Trust well in advance, so owners do have peace of mind in the knowledge that their beloved companion will have a safe and happy future. Emergency cards are available on request. When a pet is in the Trust’s care either short term or long term because the owner is in care, the owner is kept in touch with visits, if possible, or regular photos and letters.
