Bath Cats and Dogs Home rescue, rehabilitate and re-home over 700 pets every year. They are there to take in unwanted, abandoned and abused cats and dogs to give them a second chance of a happy home.

I’m fundraising for Bath Cats and Dogs Home because, like them, I want to help unwanted pets in need.

A donation of £50 could provide food, warmth, shelter and comfort to a rescued dog in dire need of a safe haven, for a week. £10 will go towards look after one cat and one dog for one day.

To mark the year in which I'm heading towards my 50th birthday, I’ve set myself a challenge:

50 acts of giving back to the community.

Over the coming year, I’ll be taking on marathons, half marathons, music gigs, auctions, and plenty more, all in support of five charities that have played an important part in my life.

The charities I’ll be supporting are:

Great Ormond Street Hospital – for the life-changing work they do for children and their families.

Bath Cats and Dogs Home – caring for and rehoming animals in need.

Reach – bringing music and arts into the heart of Swindon community.

Shelter – helping to fight homelessness and unsafe housing.

SANDS – supporting those affected by the loss of a baby.

This journey is about celebrating life, giving thanks, and helping to make a difference for others. It all starts September 23rd 2025 and ends on my 50th BIRTHDAY, September 23rd 2026.

I’d love for you to follow along, get involved, and support these causes with me.
