The
Graded Training scheme was launched in
2006, and has enrolled over four thousand new
students to its training programme. It has
provided advice, information, and an
introduction to gundog fieldwork to thousands more,
and helped gundog owners throughout the UK to
overcome difficulties with their dogs. The
scheme is run by the Gundog Club, an organisation
founded solely for the purpose of helping those
struggling to train or manage their gundog breed
dogs.
Until June 2011 the Gundog Club was privately owned.
In order to preserve and protect the Graded Training scheme for the public
benefit, and to embrace more opportunities for
gundog welfare, on 6th June 2011, the Gundog Club
directors undertook to pass ownership of the Gundog
Club to a new charity: The Gundog Trust.
This new charity is run solely for the benefit of
all working gundogs and their owners. You can read
about The Gundog Trust's
charitable objectives here.
We need your help.
We
are planning a public launch of the new charity in
the new year and are hoping to involve lots of Gundog
Club trainers and gundog owners across the UK in
celebratory fundraising events.
We
will be organising sponsored walks, sits and
retrieves! and other fun activities. If you
have ideas for a fund raising event however small,
please contact Jacky or Carole in the Gundog Club
office and let them know. You can email us on
admin@thegundogclub.co.uk
If
you would like to offer a small donation towards the
charity, it would be most welcome. You can
donate as little as £2 through paypal. Other
ways to donate
Please tell your friends about The Gundog Trust.
We are working hard to make this new charity a
success and every donation helps, no matter how
small.
Thank you so much for your support.
