The Greyhound Trust, which has bases in Hagley, near Stourbridge, and Lichfield, has launched an appeal after being forced to cancel fundraising events.

Alongside providing a home for retired greyhounds, the charity also carries out kind-hearted work within the community.

The charity takes its dogs around schools and care homes and also runs dog-walking programmes.

The charity needs £4,000 a month to keep operating. At the moment it relies on volunteers to walk and care for the dogs.
