London Retired Police Dogs Trust (LRPD) was set up in 2019 to support the retired police dogs of London with their welfare needs. Once retired, the responsibility of the dog falls to their handler who has an unbreakable bond with the animal. Some retired police dogs are rehomed to an adopted family who again, take on the responsibility of the dog. Retiring police dogs do not receive a pension to support them through their ageing years, which means people who take on retired police dogs receive no financial support in a time in a dog’s life where, after a lengthy time on ‘the beat’, vets bills are inevitable and expensive. Due to the nature of the work that the courageous dogs perform it is extremely difficult to insure them which means care and treatment costs can soon mount up. The LRPD also now support retired service dogs from London Fire Brigade. Fire Investigation dogs play a vital role within the fire service and deserve support in their retirement like any other service animal. Supporters of the LRPD can order my jewellery via their website and I make a donation to this incredible charity for each order placed.

Pilgrims Hospices are a group of 3 hospices in East Kent where people with a life limiting illness and their family and friends are supported and empowered to live well in mind and body until the very last moment of their life. They provide open, compassionate care and expertise for patients and their families; both in the community and in in-patient units. They continue this support for families through their bereavement.

Families who are supported by Pilgrims Hopsices can order my jewellery via my website and I make a donation to this wonderful charity for every order placed.
