“The picture with the choir sounds as if he is a choir member – he isnt – he and beryl was photographed with the choir. Frank and Beryl have been very supportive members of the Friends of Barnes Hospital for more than 20 years to my knowledge – and probably a lot longer. They give support whenever we ask – attending fundraising events, PR events, participating in various ways from raffles to reading verse and prose at concerts we’ve held in past years. They are sometinmes able tocome along to our AGMs and various events we’ve held for patients. They’re a great pair and we are very grateful for their ongoing support.”-Kathy Sheldon (Barnes Hospital)

“The Scruffts Family Crossbreed Dog of the Year competition was judged by Wendy Richard from EastEnders, and the award went to Scampie, owned by Laura Moreno-Chamorro from Plymouth.”
Scruffts is a competition for Crossbreed Dogs run by the Kennel Club. The final is held at our Discover Dogs Show in London every November. Wendy Richard is a supporter of the show and helped judge the 2005 Scruffts final.
