Raising money for

Greyhound Rescue West Of England

Charity Registration No. 1056676

Greyhound Rescue West of England (GRWE) is the leading independent greyhound rescue charity in England and Wales, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of abused and abandoned greyhounds and greyhound crosses. At any given time we have around 70 dogs in our care.

Entirely run by volunteers, the charity receives no financial help from the racing industry and is completely reliant on donations. From humble beginnings in the west of England GRWE now operates nationally, mainly across Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cornwall, and east across to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. GRWE now rehomes over 500 of these special dogs every year.

My story

Yes, can you believe that I'm running a half marathon! It's my first one and I'm very nervous but it's all in a very good cause - to help dogs like Eddie.

Thousands of greyhounds retire from racing each year - some find new homes but many are cruelly abandoned or worse. GRWE is the leading independent greyhound rescue charity that works throughout the UK to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome abused and abandoned greyhounds. It's a small charity doing great things - rehoming over 500 dogs each year - and I've recently become a Trustee.

So, thanks for visiting my page and sponsoring me!
