January 2014 marks the start of our Silver Jubilee; and to kick off the celebrations we are offering people the opportunity to get their dogs professionally groomed in our Grooming School for a charitable donation of just £5!
The College of Animal Welfare, first started in 1989 as part of one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, Wood Green Animal Shelter. In 1996, the College became independently owned but still retains strong links with the founding charity, remaining on their site until 2011 before on-going expansion necessitated a move down the road to Chord Business Park in Godmanchester village.
In recognition of the 25 year anniversary, we will be holding a number of celebratory and fundraising events throughout the year. The first of these begins in January where all dogs brought into the College’s Dog Grooming School will be groomed for a minimum donation of just £5 which will be shared between Godmanchester Food Bank and The College of Animal Welfare’s Student Hardship Fund. Appointments will be available on a first come, first served basis.
College Principal (and founding manager), Barbara Cooper, said “We are thrilled to be celebrating our silver jubilee this year. I have been at the College since its inception in 1989, and am proud of the way the College has grown and developed over the past 25 years”. She continued “We are delighted to be raising money during our first jubilee month for two very worthwhile, local causes”.
