On Sunday 24th June, Bankside Open Spaces Trust organised one of the largest street parties in the country to celebrate all that we have in common, inspired by the late MP Jo Cox.
As part of this local event, we hosted our second annual dog-show – The Great Get Together Barkside. Despite competing with the heat-wave and England World Cup match, the event was a great success, and there were many a happy dog.
Our guest judge on the day, and for the second year running, was the delightful and charismatic Barking Blonde herself – Anna Webb from Radio London’s ‘The Barking Hour’.
The show was made possible by the incredibly generous donations from a range of wonderful sponsors including Burns Natural Food For Pets, Lily’s Kitchen, Hiro + Wolf, Kitty Forbes Illustrations, Pooch & Mutt, bybenji, Beco Pets, Dogrobes, and Beautiful Joes.
With the welfare of the dogs always in mind, we provided ample shade, water, lots of grass, and a plethora of treats. Within two hours we managed to raise £284 for the registered charity All Dogs Matter – a fantastic North London-based charity relentlessly working to re-home dogs in need – #adoptdontshop
