A CHARITY helping people who find it difficult to leave the house take care of their beloved pets is appealing for volunteers.

The Cinnamon Trust provides dog walking services to elderly people and the terminally ill and needs volunteers in Worcester to walk two 15-year-old Jack Russells.

The charity works to keep pet owners and their companions together at times when illness or old age may result in the animals having to be rehomed.

As well as dog walking the charity’s team of volunteers also foster pets while owners are in hospital, fetch food and clean out litter trays.

Potential volunteers can call 01736 758707 or email volunteer@cinnamon.org.uk.
