The Cinnamon Trust was created to ensure that no one would ever have to face losing a cherished companion due to a terminal illness or age. They are a registered charity (1134680) funded solely by donations.

This year is the charities 40 year anniversary and Julie is organising The Big Walk Whittlesey to support a national fundraising campaign with an aim of raising £500 locally. She is inviting people to get themselves sponsored to walk laps of the Manor Field, Station Road, Whittlesey, with their dogs (or without) to raise much needed funds.

Sponsorship forms can be picked up from The Market St Emporium, poppy's Coffee Bar and Parkers Newsagent, or contact Julie by email to get one posted to you.
