Stuck for ideas on what to do as a family this Easter? Look no further than Jerry Green Dog Rescue which is offering ‘K9 Fun’ sessions at its centre in Broughton, North Lincolnshire.

The charity, which cares for rescue dogs until they find a forever home, will be running activities for youngsters aged between six and 11 throughout the Easter holidays.

These will include fun and educational games and quizzes, meet and greets with the dogs as well as doggy-themed arts and crafts.

The sessions will be held at the centre on Brigg Road in Broughton, DN20 OBJ on the following dates: Friday 25^th March from 10am until 12 noon; Saturday 26^th March from 2pm until 4pm; Friday 1^st April from 10am until 12 noon; Saturday 2^nd April from 2pm until 4pm.

The cost is just £7.50 per child, per session and all of the money will go into the charity’s fundraising coffers. Children will need to be supervised by an accompanying adult, who will also be encouraged to join in with the fun.

Jenny Harris, Fundraiser at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, said: “Our K9 Fun sessions are not only enjoyable, but also educational, and will encourage the children to be physically active.

“Children and their parents can learn how best to handle and look after a dog and, as always, all proceeds will go towards looking after the animals in our care.

“The sessions are a great way to involve kids from a young age in learning about animal welfare in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.”

Places are limited, so booking is essential. To do so, please contact the centre on: 01652 653343.

Notes to editors:
• Jerry Green Dog Rescue was founded in 1961 in Broughton, Lincolnshire and is now one of the UK’s largest dog rescue charities.
• Jerry Green Dog Rescue has a caring ethos which puts the dogs in its care at the centre of everything it does. It also operates a policy whereby prospective adopters are introduced to dogs in a neutral environment away from the kennel, resulting in less stress for the dog and increasing the chances of permanent homes being found.
• The adoption process at Jerry Green Dog Rescue involves a number of introductory visits and the rehoming team provide pre and post adoption support to ensure the move to the dog’s new home is as smooth as possible.
• The charity receives no Government or National Lottery funding. This means it is dependent on the generosity of public and corporate donors/sponsors.
