National Open Garden Scheme 2020 The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,700 exceptional private gardens in England and Wales, and raises impressive amounts of money for nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake. Yorkshire’s Gardens have several new and returning gardens this year as well as many longstanding favourites. In addition, over 50 gardens are open by arrangement for groups, creating an opportunity to get together with friends, colleagues or family and have a beautiful garden all to yourselves for a special visit. Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors the NGS have donated a
total of £58 million to nursing and health charities and made an annual donation of £3 million in 2019. Their core beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Nursing Institute. The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity – they are passionate about the physical and mental health benefits of gardens too. They also support charities doing amazing work in gardens and health and grant bursaries to help community gardening projects. To receive a free booklet or for more information visit www.ngs. org.uk or email hello@ngs.org.uk or telephone 01483 211535.
Keep your pet Who would look after your pet whilst you were in hospital? For many older people in York, their pets are a part of their family and they worry about what would happen if they were in hospital. Age UK York and the RSPCA York Branch have identified a need for a service to help older and vulnerable owners with short term help and support to care for their pets and have joined forces to set up Keep Your Pet. What we offer Dog Walking Visiting a home to feed an animal Taking an animal to the vet Short term fostering for any domestic animal These services are provided by volunteers who have undergone rigorous vetting and training. Our fosterers have had a home assessment by the RSPCA York and District Branch. Sally Hutchinson, Chief Officer Age UK York said, “We often find that care of their animals is a particular worry for older people when they are unwell. But we also know how vitally important the animals are in speeding recovery and promoting wellbeing in the long term. We see this service as a natural extension of our work and are delighted to be collaborating with the RSPCA.” For the owners, the contact and friendship with the volunteer is almost as important as the benefits to their animal, but experience elsewhere has shown that the service is equally valuable to the volunteers. There are many people who are unable to have an animal of their own, or those whose own pets have recently died may not feel ready for another animal of their own but wish to have contact with animals.
Keep Your Pet really does offer a win-win situation. For more information telephone 01904 866070 or email keepyourpet@ageukyork.org.uk
