A paw-some time supporting our partners at Pups in the Park!
Date 17 August 2026
We loved supporting one of our amazing partners at their recent charity dog shows, helping to raise funds for local mental health services.
Our General Manager, Beth MacLeod-Birch, and her husband James, our Business Development Manager, took their dogs, Martha and Mabel, along to Hull and East Yorkshire Mind’s Pups in the Park event at Pearson Park, west Hull, on July 11, and East Park on August 16.
Sprocker Spaniel Martha, our therapy dog , was placed second in the Waggiest Tail category and Bassett Hound Mabel was recognised for her beauty in the Most Appealing Eyes category at the first event. James helped to judge every category at the second event.

Beth, who also helped to judge the Best in Show category at Pups in the Park in July, said: “It was a brilliant day and we were delighted to support our friends at Mind in raising money and awareness for such a worthy cause.
“It was a great opportunity to celebrate the charity and the fantastic work they do.
“It’s completely understandable Mabel wasn’t named the winner in her category, as James was a judge, but it was lots of fun and great to involve them!”
Mind’s Pups in the Park events include fun dog show classes, charity and craft stalls, food and refreshments, photo opportunities and family-friendly entertainment.
