Links & Luck-Pennies
Some of the links here are for organisations that I support, along with other lovely people. I use the old tradition of the 'luck-penny' - when I make a sale, I pass a bit along to spread the luck around. Animals who suffer are one of my main concerns, and remember, humans are animals too. We're all part of nature, let's help to look after it - and please take care of Britain's hedgehogs!
Lurcherlink
Voluntary organisation doing amazing work rehoming lurchers. My dear boy Brock came to me through these fantastic people. For all purchases of my work made through the Lurcherlink website I will donate 5% of the profit back to the organisation.

The Dogs Trust
The Dogs Trust provide rehabilitation and care for dogs, even those who cannot be rehomed. They work with the homeless and disadvantaged children, helping people who really need their dogs to keep them rather than having to lose a dear friend because of unfortunate circumstances.

Wood Green Animal Shelters
A charity that shelters and rehomes all kinds of animals. My dear old dog Dill, no longer with us, was a Wood Green dog, who gave us 13 years of love and companionship. There are so many animals in need of a home, or just donate a few quid to help with their work.

Tibet Society
The oldest UK organisation supporting Tibetans' struggle for freedom against the brutal Chinese takeover. If you value your freedom, please take one minute of your time to understand how ordinary people have to exist there and whose culture is being systematically destroyed.
