On Thursday, at the South Seacroft Community Event, I met Donna Sayce, who is Education Officer at the Dogs Trust here in Leeds...

Donna talked to me about the work that the Dogs Trust do and wanted me to help her by promoting their FREE workshops. The Dogs Trust provides a range of themed workshops delivered by their education team. The workshops provide curriculum links to literacy, numeracy, citizenship and PSHE and a range of activities that provide real opportunities to develop responsibility, self-esteem, respect, confidence and teamwork. The workshops are aimed at primary aged children and focus around responsible dog ownership. The Dogs Trust believes that by educating children we can make a huge impact on animal welfare, communities, environments and reduce anti-social behaviour often associated with dogs.

Donna told me that the workshops are very interactive and fun as they include her two Jack Russell terriers, Dennis and Maisy! You can contact Donna by e-mail at donna.sayce@dogstrust.org.uk or by phone on 0113 2814938. If you want to find out more you can visit their website at http://www.learnwithdogs.co.uk/ where there are also free resources you can download.
