Greyhound Charity Set to Benefit From Local Holidaymakers

Bedlington based travel agency Prana Travel have teamed up with Northumberland Greyhound Rescue to raise funds for retired greyhounds

The charities website www.northumberlandgreyhoundrescue.org.uk is being funded by Prana Travel and a donation to the charity is being made whenever a client books and mentions Northumberland Greyhound Rescue. The scheme aims to raise hundreds of pounds to help towards the rescue and re-homing of these wonderful dogs.

Aled Evans of Prana Travel, said: "We are delighted to help support Northumberland Greyhound Rescue by sponsoring the hosting of the website. In addition, we are offering donations to the charity when anyone booking with us mentions Northumberland Greyhound Rescue (NGR):

As the owner of two retired greyhounds myself, I know what great pets greyhounds make. The work that Northumberland Greyhound Rescue are doing is vital in giving these dogs a caring and loving home once their racing careers are over. "

The donation scheme is expected to become an ongoing source of revenue for the charity, securing kennel places for dogs waiting for homes and helping towards the neutering and micro-chipping costs of each of the dogs.

Donations to the charity will be made as follows:

Package Holidays: £10

Flight only booking "“ £5

Cruises "“ £25

Tailor-made holidays "“ £25

Aled and his wife decided to start the Bedlington based travel business in 2008. In addition to the more traditional package based holidays they provide the business has managed to succesfully combine Aled's 15 year experience in the travel industry with his wife's interest in yoga to provide a range of bespoke relaxing Yoga holidays.
