Volunteer for the Cinnamon Trust

Cinnamon Trust is the only specialist national charity which seeks to relieve the anxieties, problems, and sometimes injustices, faced by elderly and terminally ill people and their pets, thereby saving a great deal of human sadness and animal suffering.
The Trust was founded in 1985 by Mrs Averil Jarvis whose determination and dedication has ensured that the manifest need is fully addressed.

It is widely acknowledged that pets can positively benefit the well-being of elderly owners. For many elderly people living on their own, their pets are their reason for living.

They are constant companions – on hand 24 hours a day, every day, comforting, loving and protecting their owners – not only from outside threats, but also offering the more subtle form of protection from loneliness and despair.

We are looking for Volunteer Dog Walkers -   Individuals with both life limiting illness and other health problems, may be unable to walk their faithful companions.

We are looking for Short Term Fosterers across the whole of the UK who would be prepared to look after a pet when their owner is in hospital.

If you are able to spare some time to help, we would love to hear from you.
