Finally, we are super excited that our galgo toy family has arrived! We now
have Pietro, Spike, Ginny, and Rosa as 20cm cuddly toys.
They will be given to children in Spain who participate in workshops, along
with our GIN water bottles, as a lasting
reminder of their learning experience. (The
first boxes have already arrived with Galgos
del Sol). And we are working on a project to
make them the central part of an educational
activity – watch this space!

GIN supports rescue shelters by
funding education classrooms and equipment,
transportation for school visits, and the provision of
an education programme through a dedicated
website.
https://education.greyhoundsinneed.co.uk/
provides learning materials and activities all about
galgos. Supporting cross-curricular
learning in schools, and available in both
Spanish and English (so UK teachers can use them too), learn
about rescue shelters, what animals need, compare the life of a pet
galgo vs a working galgo, make face masks and puppets, create a
snuffle mat, and more!

Importantly, it supports the rescue shelters working on the ground with
children and young people, giving them free access to a variety of activities.
And GIN ensures the shelters have something the children can take away
wristbands and water bottles are always popular!
GIN is also encouraging all young people (anywhere in the world) to join
#teamgalgo. They can make their pledge to help the galgos and be included
in the #GoTeamGalgo gallery, by sending a photo with their pledge here
