Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Help needed to walk elderly person's little dog N4
An elderly person needs a volunteer to walk their cute little dog in Green Lanes/Queens Drive/Clissold Park area during the week. Please consider helping if you live nearby, even if you can just do once a week.
First you would just need to apply to be a volunteer for the Cinnamon Trust, which is a charity which helps elderly people with pets. It's easy to apply, it's just some paperwork and once you're registered as a volunteer, you will be contacted by the charity to see if you can help where a need arises near you - you can say no if you can't help at the time. I'm a volunteer myself.
You can download a volunteer registration form www.cinnamon.org.uk/volunteers/
The more people who apply to be volunteers, the better - then if an elderly person needs help with a pet near you, there's a pool of potential people to help.
If you don't have time to volunteer, please consider becoming a member of the charity for £10 a year.

Hi Justine
I can and will apply to the Cinnamon Trust, however the website indicates the registration process can take up to 4 weeks, so if he needs urgent assistance with dog walking he could arrange dogs walks instantly with me via Borrow My Doggy. It covers all insurance costs for the dog etc. and registration is immediate.
I can help walk this gent's dog on evenings and also potentially weekday mornings (I work 9-6pm and my commute involves passing clissold park)
Here's my profile
http://bmd.gy/1QmfOcaAs I said, I will also register with The Cinnamon Trust as it's something I have wanted to do for quite a while, but I just wanted to put that secondary option out there if he is in desperate and immediate need.
I'm based on the harringay ladder close to the Salisbury pub.
Best wishes
Anna

Thanks a lot Anna. I'll pass that on to the Cinnamon Trust plus I'll tell them to look out for your volunteer application. (I wasn't able to access your profile on the link).

Hi Anna. The Cinnamon Trust have asked me for your contact details so that they can rush through your volunteer registration process. I have sent you a connection request. Or you can email direct patrickwilliams@cinnamon.org.uk as he is in the volunteer recruitment department and then when he has your name and address, he'll be able to process your volunteer form quickly when you have completed it. Thanks ever so much for helping, you're a star!
