Drummond Community High School Headteacher, Nora Prentice is very generously running the London Marathon in April this year in aid of Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary. SGS is one of two charities which Nora is going to be raising funds for, and she has decided to get the pupils at her school involved with the fundraising process as much as possible. To that end, SGS volunteers and their dogs visited the school on five occasions over the past fortnight, giving a short presentation to each year group about greyhound rescue and what SGS is all about, and allowing the pupils the opportunity to meet some greyhounds face to face. Greyhounds Hamish, Lana, Annie, Jackson and Molly proved a huge hit with both pupils and staff at the school and were fantastic 'ambassadogs' for the charity. We hope that as well as educating these children about the realities of greyhound racing and the work which rescues like SGS carry out, we may have sown the seeds for some future greyhound adoptions as well!

Tara, our wonderful Sponsored Events Co-ordinator has managed to arrange a 24 hour knit-a-thon to raise money for Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary!   

An army of knitters will be gathering next Saturday, 25th February, to knit for a full 24 hours!   Not only are they raising sponsor money for this tough challenge, but they will also be making lovely wooly greyhound coats and snoods which will then be sold to raise even more money for Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary.   This event has taken a lot of organising, with not only knitters but support volunteers also helping to make food and the much needed cups of tea and coffee to keep our knitters going!

Please sponsor our 24 hour knit-a-thon if you can by following this link.

If you are unable to sponsor us please do look out for the knitted greyhound coats, greyhound snoods and maybe even greyhound hats (!) that will be for sale after the knit-a-thon.

Thank you for your support.
