Have you ever thought of working for the Fire Service? Fighting fires is just one small part of what the fire service does. When we get a call it could be to a road accident, an air accident or a rail accident or to rescue someone from a lift. If you are over 18 and you think you have what it takes, call your local Chief Fire Officer today.

The shoes and clothes that you give us, we’ll give to the homeless. So everybody wins. You get 20% and you help people in need. Come to Kenneth Cole today.

Tilly and Trigger are dogs. They are here at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home because their owners left them in the street to die. But at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home we rescue cats and dogs like Tilly and Trigger and then we find new homes for them. Homes like your home. If you would like one of our dogs or cats, please visit us on the web at www.dogshome.org. Can you offer Tilly or Trigger a home?
