As we leave 2022, I can't help but wonder what what's next for Blue Cross UK in 2023! 🎇
One thing is for sure – we’ll be here to continue supporting pets and their owners who need our help.
#DidYouKnow @the_Blue_Cross run Britain’s largest animal bereavement service?
The helpline has helped 27,000 pet owners this year alone - this is 20,000 more than in 2021.
We're enlisting 100 volunteers to keep this vital service going all year round.
It's great to see families come together, to raise a glass or two and temporarily put aside the great uncertainties that may of us are feeling in the spirit of Christmas.

As temperatures plummeted here in the UK, we know first-hand the stresses due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. In Ukraine, the situation is even more severe. Read my latest article on Blue Cross UK efforts to help those in need: linkedin.com/pulse/uk-freez…
It was great to see ITV News Meridian Natalie Verney meet the wonderful Amber at @the_blue_cross rehoming centre in Burford recently.
Amber is just one of the many sick and abandoned pets we were able to help this year.
Amber was abandoned in a field whilst she was pregnant and suffering with mange. Blue Cross UK were able to deliver her pups whilst getting her back to good health.
All of the pups and Amber are now thriving in new homes. None of this would be possible without our supporters.
The petition committee's recommendation to ban greyhound racing in Wales is a significant step towards the more compassionate future we need to protect dogs. @the_blue_cross, @dogstrust and RSPCA (England & Wales) are united in supporting this: bluecross.org.uk/campaign/CutTh…
As news headlines across the UK describe temperatures as low as -5 degrees I can’t help but think of Blue Cross UK partners in Ukraine, currently experiencing -15 to -20 degrees. We're working hard to ensure pets are able to access food: bluecross.org.uk/blue-cross-ukr…
Many people are struggling to care for their pets. By supporting Blue Cross UK this Christmas, you could help us to take care of more homeless pets, until we can find them the perfect new home: bluecross.org.uk/support

We're back with our #Christmas kitten cam! 🎥 We hope you can keep up with our latest litter from our Bromsgrove rehoming centre. 🎁
It's been a privilege to raise awareness of how the cost of living crisis is affecting pet owners, and how Blue Cross UK' can support, on Sky News and Steph McGovern recently!
We will continue to raise these important issues across national media.
I love to read about four legged Guinness World Records holders! 🐾
