Blue Cross

[blue cross logo]The Blue Cross, Britain's Pet charity offers a national free education service to children aged 5-12. Using our network of fully-trained and CRB checked volunteers we have seen over 160,000 children. Our talks are not a fundraising initiative but are part of our programme of information and education.

We now have volunteers in Battersea, Croydon, Streatham, Banstead, Islington, Brent Park and Hayes. Talks can be to large groups or made age-appropriate for smaller groups of children. The programme is particularly appropriate to areas such as Animal related activity badges. Talks can be given on subjects such as:

  • Responsible Pet care
  • Being safe around dogs
  • History of The Blue Cross including our work during World War I & II

Some of our volunteers have temperament-assessed dogs with them, and all carry a number of resources to help make the message of the Blue Cross a fun and interesting experience.

Availability of talks is dependant upon the availability of our volunteers, so please contact me direct to arrange a talk for your Unit.
