It has been a very exciting year for all of us here at The Trust. As we were packing The Big Walk goody bags, The Sunday Times contacted us to say that we were one of The Best Places to Work in 2024 and what a buzz that was! And what a walk it turned out to be! We had good weather in Cornwall, following the very wet walk we had in 2023. Around the country over 40 walks took place, with dogs of all sizes led by our wonderful Volunteer leaders in weathers of all sorts too!

Next year, 2025, we will be celebrating 40 years of The Cinnamon Trust. It’s hard to believe that four decades have passed since Averil and friends were seated around the kitchen table in Poldarves Farm, starting the charity that has helped thousands of people with their beloved companion pets. We hear stories everyday about the profound difference that The Trust and our fabulous volunteers make on a daily basis, supporting pet owners with everyday tasks and it’s this team of volunteers that embodies the spirit of community and compassion.

Our sterling silver Paw Print Necklace is a must for the fashion conscious, beautifully presented in a lovely gift box and of course the Tipsy Overfed Fruit Cake, absolutely delicious, and paired with the Beeble Hot Toddy Gift Set.
