Hi Everyone,

I have had to create a new funding page as the old one expired, I did not realise it had a default end date. Many have already followed my journey with an amazing 27 donations so far, raising a whopping £630 out of the £10,000 target! So a huge thank you.

Please let me first brief you on my background and why I am wanting to do this; I am Andy Bates and hold a background in dog training ranging from qualifications in animal phycology, communications and canine behaviour, obedience training and life experience having trained many dogs on a 1-1 basis. I have a huge passion for the industry of animals specifically within a dog focused environment as well as a background in helping volunteer in my local community to aid those who need an extra helping hand.

Taking my passions and experience within these two fields I have then always wanted to run my own business to revolve around our furry friends, but also help and involve my local community. This all started as I was getting numerous members from my area bringing to my attention about concerns about dog related issues from dog attacks, dog poo littering in the areas in which are used frequently for other activities which can cause disruption, poisoning of dogs and general anxiety when it comes to walking our pets in the area for many varied reasons.

My project, to create a safe and secure environment to help these issues raised and provide that safe haven for our pets. I aim to secure land and build a park called CentreBark with fencing, water stations, an agility area, private use for your dog to be carefree without a lead, merchandise, a place to get hot drinks while you let them have some fun in the open space and much more.

The only thing is I need is your help and support to fund my project in order to build and get started for this to become reality.

I have been sharing my story on my social media platforms which many people already follow and you can also be apart of that and follow my journey to know more and get an insight on each step of the way.

It would mean an awful lot if you could Share or donate even a small amount to help me reach my goal! Lets make our pets have a voice and let them have a magical experience and keep them safe and their owners feeling stress free.

Love and Blessings to you all.
