We had an amzing time at Paws In The Park in Kent. Our stall was busy across both days.

Adopting The Slow Approach to Auctions

With a keenness to offer more to supporters we’ve reworked our auction model. We know people like to buy gifts and essentials from our charity through the year so we’ve had a big think and relaunched our Pop Up Shop and Auction with a taste of the slow about it. It suits us, and more importantly we think it’ll suit supporters.
