Local housebuilder supports Dog Show!

Leading local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, has committed to supporting the annual Dog Show held at the Hope Pastures Horse and Donkey Sanctuary, close to its Bodington Manor development in Adel, with a sponsorship of £1,000.

The sanctuary, which rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes horses and donkeys in need and provides a centre for the local community. Open to everyone free of charge every day, the sanctuary also runs sessions for differently-abled children, those with learning difficulties as well as the elderly, where the animals provide a therapeutic experience. Hope Pastures is holding its third annual Dog Show on July 17th. It will offer dog classes for attendees, stalls for local businesses, dog displays, the opportunity for “have a go” agility, and “have a go flyball” as well as the extra attraction of being able to meet the rescued horses, ponies and donkeys. David Wilson Homes has an established relationship with Hope Pastures, having previously supported surface work on site.

Stacey Berkeley, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, commented: “At David Wilson Homes we’re committed to working with existing communities in the areas where we build and Hope Pastures, close to Bodington Manor, is a special place for many people in the area, so we’re thrilled to be able to support the centre further this summer.

“The Dog Show is set to be a great event and the money we have provided will help the centre to prepare for this and ultimately raise much needed funds to keep the excellent facilities running.”

Sue Huggins-Geering, trustee at Hope Pastures, commented: “We’re very grateful to David Wilson Homes at Bodington Manor for sponsorship of our Dog Show this year – the day has proved really enjoyable for the local community over the last few years and we expect to put on an even bigger and better event. The sponsorship will help us raid much needed funds for the sanctuary where we are very proud of the work we do with the community through animal therapy, which enhances the lives of the animals and children alike.”

Bodington Manor is a beautiful development of four and five bedroom detached family homes in a secluded woodland setting with fantastic links to the motorways and Leeds Bradford airport. Prices start at £499,995.
