3. Activities
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The impetus for the Yellow Dog UK campaign came from NarpsUK, a membership organisation for pet sitters and dog walkers. NarpsUK decided to support the UK campaign designed to establish a Yellow Ribbon as an accepted symbol throughout the UK that a dog needs space because of concern how stressful it can be for a Yellow Dog and its owner when a social dog or off-lead dog approaches. They realised that gaining acceptance for the Yellow Ribbon will benefit everyone and make dog walking more enjoyable experience.
The charity have promoting the Yellow Dog concept via dog shows, its website and the distribution of general promotional material and now sells a full range of merchandise and promotional material for individuals and businesses who have yellow dogs themselves or wish to help us to promote the campaign.
