Lil Miss Bump Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Here is a bit about what they each do MacMillan Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. One in three of us will get cancer. We are all affected by cancer. We are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, so we also help carers, families and communities| . We guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. We fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals| and build cancer care centres| . But we give so much more than medical help. People need practical support at home, so we provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so we listen, advise and share information though our cancer support specialists| , website and trained professionals| . People need financial help| to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so we give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. Together we listen, we learn, we act to help people live with cancer. As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support. Marie Curie Research commissioned by Marie Curie Cancer Care shows that 64 per cent of people would choose to die at home. In reality only 25 per cent achieve this. Every year, Marie Curie Nurses make that wish possible for thousands of cancer patients in cities, towns and villages across the UK. Marie Curie Nurses now care for around 50 per cent of all cancer patients who die at home. They work through the night or during the day to provide care for patients in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of their own home. Our nurses are also there for families and carers - providing practical and emotional support at what can be an exhausting time. Marie Curie Nursing is always free of charge to patients and carers. Marie Curie also have Hospices and do scientific research. Sue Ryder Care supports people with specialist palliative, end of life and long-term neurological care needs. Each year we provide 4 million hours of care to people living with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke and brain injury. West Midlands Siberian Husky Welfare The West Midlands Siberian Husky Rescue is a small but highly dedicated Siberian Husky Rescue assisting in the rescue and rehoming of Siberian Huskies and Husky cross breeds. WMSHR will help at anytime with a problem you have with your Siberian Husky or other snow dog breed. No matter how big or small that problem may be, or how silly it sounds. We all have to start somewhere. So before you think of rehoming your dog, email us and we will talk you through everything. http://westmidshuskyrescue.webs.com/ SHCGB (Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain) Welfare covers many problems, from the owner who can't, for various reasons, look after their husky any more, to the bewildered owner who just needs a little friendly advice on some of the breeds quirks. We offer advice to rescue kennels across the UK and will always try to help find their charges a new home by helping out with the assessments on the dogs and carrying out the home visits if required. http://www.shcgbwelfare.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindog Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Is there a reason why The Siberian Husky Welfare Association (UK) has been left off the Husky Charity list? We are by far the busiest of all the Siberian Husky Welfare organisations in the UK and in just over three years we have taken in and rehomed over 400 unwanted Siberian Huskies from all over the UK. All the dogs which come in to us have to be speyed/neutered, vaccinated and vet-checked before rehoming and this costs us a fortune. Vet fees are by far our biggest area of expenditure. www.huskywelfare.org.uk Just a thought Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 The previous two charity events were held in aid of SHWA I think aimee has just tried to be fair as the last one raised nearly £1,000 for shwa just so as to give the other rescue's a chance?

raindog Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Fair enough Sarah! Unfortunately real life doesn't share things around equally and at the moment we are overwhelmed with dogs coming in at the rate of 6 or 7 each week with dozens waiting to come in when we have space.

raindog Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Not bothered what husky one, long as they are a registered charity None of the three are registered charities. SHWA(UK) will be applying for registration next year. I don't know about the others. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Miss Bump Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 hey i'm sorry Mick, it wasn't a personal decision or anything, we just thought that as we had done things recently for SHWA that we could do something for someone else that also needs help. if we do well this year we will be doing another one next year and maybe then some of the proceeds will go towards SHWA. the main focus for myself at the moment is the cancer charity as my dad has cancer and without the people who caught it so early that are specially trained due to the research done it could have been a lot worse-but as we're all on this forum and all love our pups so much-a lot of whom have been re-homes the other charity is obviously going to be a husky one. I didn't mean to offend anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
