Black Country firm delivers food to Dudley's Greyhound Trust

The Greyhound Trust in Dudley provides care for dogs that have retired from racing and are looking for a family to settle down with.

As with most charities they have suffered due to the Covid-19 crisis so Cradley Heath roofing firm T Newman Ltd stepped up to provide food for the dogs over the Christmas period.

Trevor Newman, managing director of T Newman Ltd, said: “At this time of year it is all about reaching out and helping where you can. I have a soft spot for Greyhounds as an ex-owner, and I know the team at Trust do an incredible job all year long.

“We hope this amount of food will help keep the dogs that are still in the kennels over the festive period well fed, and take some of the pressure off the Trust."

Paul Brothwood, the firm's chief operating officer, said: “I fostered a beautiful Greyhound during the lockdown last year, they are such amazing pets. Our firm always looks to support local groups and charities.”

Deb Worton, lead volunteer at the trust's base in Turls Hill Road, Coseley, added: “It is so kind of the company to reach out to us, we are very thankful for any donation, this has certainly given us a great Christmas boost.
