The
Cinnamon Trust Needs You.
Registered
Charity No 1134680
Dog
Walking Appeal Verwood
The
Cinnamon Trust is the national charity formed to support the elderly and
terminally ill and their much loved, much needed pets.
Volunteers
help to keep owners and pets together either by walking a dog for a housebound
owner, fostering pets when the owners need hospital care and even cleaning out a
bird cage.
Unfortunately
we have a shortage of volunteers in Verwood who are able to offer some much
needed walks for a dear little 9 year old Yorkie. The Cinnamon Trust is
desperate for volunteers in the Verwood area. If you can only offer an hour a
week it will improve the dog’s quality of life so much and give the owner
peace of mind.
If
anyone can help please call Sally on 01736 758707
Or
email volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk.

 MUGA
PROJECT
(Verwood)
Multi Use Games Area
Active
Games for All is a group of Verwood residents who formed a committee with the
intention of fundraising for a multi use games area in the town (MUGA).
The facility is being proposed for the corner of the
Memorial Ground in the centre of Verwood and would be situated behind the
Memorial Hall. The group is independent of the local council and is chaired by
local resident Pat Morrow.
A consultation was held on the 4th April 2009 in the
Memorial Hall to give the public an
opportunity to vote on their favourite design and talk to members of the
committee as well as different exhibitors and see to how the plans would affect
the Memorial Ground.
The aim of the group is to provide a facility that all
members of the community will want to use. This includes facilities for older
residents, as a result, the consultation will feature exhibitors with equipment
specifically designed for older residents to try. Active Games for All do not
wish to encroach upon any existing users of the Memorial Ground and were keen to
show the public that the proposed MUGA will easily coexist with the other
activities that already take place in the ground.
