Celebrating Gamekeeping and the work of the gamekeeper as true custodians of the countryside and raising funds for the sustainable future of the Gamekeepers' Welfare Trust

Story

The Year of the Gamekeeper 2020 will make an incredible difference for generations to follow, supporting those who wish to make gamekeeping their career, working families and individuals and the retired in later life. Harry was enjoying his retirement as a gamekeeper all his working life, when his wife became ill. 20 years later he is still caring for her as she struggles with dementia. He desperately wants to stay in his beloved home where he knows she feels safe and in familiar surrounding. We helped Harry to continue his labour of love, helping with rent, care fees and keeping in touch regularly.
