The Cinnamon Trust’s 40 Year Anniversary
Help make our 40th year, the best one yet!
40 Years of The Cinnamon Trust
We are very excited about our plans for 2025 and we are so happy you would like to celebrate this remarkable milestone—our 40th anniversary!
Together we have made a profound impact on the lives of countless older and terminally ill people and their beloved pets. It's a legacy we can all be proud of, and one that we want to continue to nurture and grow.
Fundraising events are important to us financially but also they are a fantastic way to spread the word about what The Cinnamon Trust does. These events help to ensure that we can continue to offer our vital services in our local communities. Services like, walking dogs for housebound owners, fostering pets when owners are hospitalised, and lifelong support for our profiled pets. The kindness of volunteers, like you, giving their time and energy, allows The Trust to provide peace of mind to thousands of people across the UK who with our support are able to continue to enjoy the companionship of their beloved pets.
As we celebrate our 40th year, we invite you to join us and make our anniversary a year to remember! We have a dedicated fundraising team to help support and discuss and fundraising ideas you may have.
£40 for 40- A fun and achievable fundraising challenge that we hope you may get involved with! Raise £40 for 40 years of The Cinnamon Trust. Of course, we do not insist that you stop at 40, but to make our appreciation known for your participation, every fundraiser who raises at least the target £40 will receive a Cinnamon Trust exclusive, Charlie Bear!
Please remember all ideas are welcome when it comes to fundraising, this is the year to pull out all the stops and be creative. Whether you host a cake sale, organise a charity run, craft and sell handmade goods, or showcase a unique talent for donations, every penny counts and is greatly appreciated.
Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity
Host an Event
Host a dinner party, games night, BBQ, or any social event that can bring a group together for a great cause. Perhaps you can organise a dog show or a group dog walk where participants can socialise with other animal lovers.
Challenge Yourself
Set up an online fundraiser or gain sponsorships in person for taking on a great feat. Such as endurance tests, climbing a local landmark, timed challenges, attempting a world record!
Car Boot/Table-Top Sale
Rehome some of your unused items and encourage friends and family to donate theirs, with proceeds going to The Trust.
Sponsored Walks or Runs
Gather a group, or go solo and set a target distance or timeframe to complete a walk/run. Gather sponsorships online or in person for reaching your goal.
If creating a fundraiser isn’t ‘your thing’, attending or hosting a Big Walk near you might be. We want to make this anniversary year our biggest and best Big Walk yet, so we need YOU! In previous years our volunteers have gathered together to celebrate volunteering in their communities, this year we want to use our Big Walk events to spread the word.
Our aim is to get people talking about The Cinnamon Trust and help recruit more volunteers and reach those who need our help. We want The Cinnamon Trust to become a household name so we can help as many owners and their pets as possible. We will be organising press releases about all our events and sending invitations to local people to attend organised Big Walk events. We have a Big Walk team on standby to help promote all events and to help every step of the way.
We are already in the process of establishing our walk locations across the UK but we would love to say that we had over 40 walks across the country and in lots of locations so people do not have to travel too far to attend an event. Being a part of The Big Walk is simple, and size is not everything; a walk where just one person takes part can have a BIG impact. Informing one person of the help that they could receive, or be a part of providing, means your walk is a massive success.
Whether you join a group Big Walk, create your own Big Walk in a local park, or take on a solo sponsored walk, please get involved. Your participation will mean the world to us and will make our 40th year celebrations that bit more special!
Your involvement with fundraising efforts is crucial to our mission.
