I am currently working with Marta of ADANA in Badajoz on producing an
      information leaflet which will be used when talks are given to groups of
      Spanish adults about galgo and animal welfare.  The leaflet will advise on what
      to do if a lost, injured or abandoned  animal is found, what constitutes cruelty
      and will highlight cruelty cases which have resulted in legal action being taken
      against the owner.  Sadly, this type of information is still very much needed in
      some rural parts of Spain.  The leaflet will also give information about GIN,
      its education programme in Spain and why there is a need for collaboration
      between GIN and ADANA and charities in other countries where the level of
      animal welfare is much higher than in Spain.  The leaflet will be produced
      quarterly and we hope it will also be taken up by other Spanish shelters
      highlighting their needs as well.

      Producing this leaflet is no mean feat for two
      publishing novices but when it comes to galgos
      and animal welfare, we will turn our hand to
      anything!!

      Ricky Gervais, one of our wonderful Patrons has
      kindly created a design and signed by him to go
      on GIN T-shirts and here he is modelling it!!
      Thank you, Ricky.  Handsome chap!!


      Once again, we would like to thank our donors,
      supporters and followers for their continued
      support and generous donations
      during what has been and still is a
      very challenging time for everyone.
      A Thank You is never big enough.

      In order to keep our staff and
      volunteers safe during the pandemic
      we had to close Head Office and
      everyone had to work from home.
      Carolyn, Tracey and the volunteers
      did a fantastic job of keeping
      everything going remotely until the
      office could be reopened in July.       Our Patron, Ricky, with friends
                                            Martin, Trustee, and his wife Angela
      GIN has a wonderful and dedicated
      team at Head Office and we are truly grateful to you all.

      As the saying goes, “Adopting a galgo or greyhound won’t change the world but
      the world will change for that galgo or greyhound.”


                                Keep well and safe.

                                                     Christine
