PDSA exists to provide free expert veterinary care and treatments to the pets of the people who are most in need in society; those who simply could not afford private care for their beloved pets. For the people and pets of Wolverhampton, we offer these services through a dedicated PDSA Pet Hospital in the city, which on an average day sees around 100 poorly pets and worried owners. Anyone who owns a pet can appreciate the value they undoubtedly bring to our lives. For everything they give us, we need to be doing everything we can to keep them healthy and happy in return. The wonderful donation from the James Beattie Charitable Trust will help us to continue this work; enabling us to reunite pet and owner quicker.

Initially this is difficult without them feeling judged by peers, however as our musician works to create a good environment they start to engage with the process. We now have people working with us writing and performing their own music, with keys, Beats and Hip hop styles, including bass playing and hand drumming.

We are so excited to receive a generous donation from The James Beattie Trust to support ’Woodland Forester’. This new outdoor leaning project will begin in January 2019 and is aimed at connecting disadvantaged children to nature, improving their health and wellbeing. Wolverhampton City based children will have six days, in the countryside, experiencing the fun of the great outdoors, learning about a range of habitats, investigating our nine acres of woodland and engaging in conservation activities. They will gain new skills and grow in confidence through this practical six week programme. Kingswood Trust is a charity that sits 6 miles outside the City of Wolverhampton and has a great
reputation for delivering environmental learning days, residential stays, projects and training. It is a fabulous venue for people of all ages. Kingswo
od Trust holds the ‘Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge’, demonstrating that children and visitors of all ages are looked after well, with the highest levels of safety and educational opportunities. We look forward to sharing the positive impact that this grant has made in the coming year. Thank you for these much needed funds.”
