ObedienceUK Fund
For
'The Financial Support of Dogs and their Handlers in Times of Need'.

Jane Ellen set up this fund, on behalf of the ObedienceUK email list, in memory of Janet Farrar, who needed our help re-homing her dogs when she found her cancer had returned with a vengeance. Sadly, Jan lost her fight in March 2004, after knowing her dogs had all been successfully re-homed with friends through the list.
Our aim is to help handlers and their dogs when times are hard.
To contribute to the fund, please pop your change into the tin or bucket you will see at various Obedience Shows, or get in touch with either Ronnie Stock or Anne Westover (email addresses below) if you want to send cheques (cheques made payable to The ObedienceUK Fund).

Anne Westover, Mobile 07956 270680, Email: gemdall@btopenworld.com

If you email Ronnie she will send you the account numbers so you can contribute on-line while sitting at you PC, or you can pop down to your bank and put a cheque directly into the account.

If you want to send a cheque by post, then address it to:

Ronnie Stock

Many people have already set up Standing Orders for a small amount to go directly into the account each month. It matters not how small, every penny counts!

You never know when 'you' might need our help.

If you know of someone who needs help, please email Ronnie or Anne on behalf of the person concerned. Please give as much detail as you can. The request will be put forward to a small committee of people, selected from across the UK. Then they will get back to you.
If you are organising an Obedience Show perhaps you would keep a 'tin' handy with the fund logo on, in a prominent position, so people can pop their change into it.
If you are attending a show, please offer to take a tin around and collect.
Remember, this fund is to benefit 'us all'…

You never know when ' your dog' might need our help.

The Obedience world in the UK is made up of a huge family of caring people.
I know you are one of them.
Over the last few years, many of us have collected or contributed to various requests for help. We have bought several wheel chairs for handler's that needed them… Some hearing aid apparatus to help people to continue in their chosen hobby when they could no longer hear a Ring Steward's commands.
We would like to help people who may have difficulty in paying a large, unexpected veterinary bill, or emergency kennelling if they are suddenly rushed into hospital.
