Here at The National Animal Welfare Trust, we can’t wait to show you what has been happening at our animal charity over the past couple of months.

All five of our centres based in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Cornwall, Essex, and Hertfordshire, have been busy rehoming and helping homeless animals. We couldn’t wait to show you how some of our adopted animals have been getting on in their new forever homes. Make sure to head over to the ‘Happy Tails’ section to see how lurcher Paddy, who came to us incredibly stressed, has transformed in his new home.

Back on the 22nd March, we welcomed Russell Kane to our NAWT Berkshire centre to host a comical event in celebration of his new book, Pet Selector! We sat down with Russell afterwards, where he gave us a special interview, telling us about his book and how the idea came about. Head over to page 6 to read the interview in full.

We also took great pleasure in catching up with Helen Woollams, a volunteer at our Leighton Buzzard shop, who is the fashion designer behind our shop windows. We couldn’t wait to hear all about her biggest break yet. Helen created a beautiful dress for British film make-up artist Laura Blount, who was nominated for an Oscar! Yes, you read that right, her dress was worn to the Oscars! Turn to page 14 to find out more.

Lastly, we couldn’t forget about our amazing fundraisers, who have raised an incredible amount of money for our charity. On page 12, you will find some of our fundraising superheroes who have shared their stories.

All of the above plus so much more.

Our Spring flyer is full of new and exciting products for sale, with all proceeds going towards caring for the homeless animals in our centres.
