Hello! I'm a resident of Croyde, North Devon but I work for Guide Dogs and am a Volunteer Coordinator for the whole South West region, including North Devon. I want to share my plea for new volunteers to join and become Puppy Raisers. We have a real need for them in North Devon.
Please read the press release below. Many thanks, Bryony Lewis
With the start of the New Year comes the first days of new beginnings, new adventures and new experiences. This year, why not do something really special? When we say volunteering for Guide Dogs is life changing, we’re not just talking about the people we’ll support. You’ll gain new skills; build confidence you never knew you had and have amazing experiences that you genuinely couldn’t find anywhere else...........
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO ARE BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DOGS, PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY ARE CLOSE TO OTHER PEOPLE AND ANIMALS.
DON'T FORGET TO LOOK IN THE GUINEAFORD TELEPHONE BOX FOR A BOOK TO READ OR DROP ONE OFF FOR SOMEBODY ELSE!
News from our neighbouring parishes and beyond
Marwood Poor Lands Charity (including Ackland's Gift) Applications for Grants This Charity was established over 100 years ago to provide grants of money to the poor and destitute living in the Parish of Marwood. Today, a small annual income is obtained from the lease of 7 .5 acres of Iand in Marwood. Due to the continual social change, the reasons for applying for grants has also changed but the basics are similar; eg. relieve sudden distress, sickness or infirmity, assistance with special payments. The increase in Government SocialWelfare Payments has seen a large reduction in the number of applicants. Claims for grants are considered in confidence by the Charity Trustees. Applicants must clearly demonstrate a need and provide some form of evidence. lf you wish to apply, or know someone who you think is eligible, (please ensure you have their permission) contact: Clerk to the Charity, Malcolm J Measures on marparco2@live.co.uk M J Measures Tru stee/Clerk to the Charity MARWOOD POOR LANDS CHAR]TY
