With many years experience with animals and rescue work I was drawn to an advert about BCTGB advert in the early 1990's. I began supporting them and in 1997 I was in the fortunate position to assist the Trust in realising its dream of opening a rescue centre when a boarding kennels in Colton became available to purchase and I was able to donate the funds required. Two years later I was asked to become a Trustee and for someone with a love of dogs and especially Border Collies it seemed the perfect combination.
