An invitation has been issued by a funeral home on the Upper Richmond Road for the community to join them with their pets for a coffee.
The event is taking place all day on Friday (19 July) at Putney Co-op Funeralcare.
You are encouraged to bring along your furry friends to enjoy pup-cakes, get creative with pet-themed arts and crafts, and take part in a ‘Guess the amount of dog treats’ competition, all in aid of Battersea Dogs Home.
Local ministers and celebrants will also be popping along with their own four-legged companions to meet those in the community.
Airat Adelakun, Funeral Arranger at Co-op Funeralcare Putney, said, “Here at Co-op Funeralcare in Putney, it’s important to us to play a key role in supporting our local community.
“We want to be here for when our community need us and encourage people to be comfortable to stop by for a chat – and what better way to do so than welcoming along our furry friends and raising money for a good cause.
“There’s lots going on for people to get involved with, and we look forward to seeing everyone there for what is sure to be a fantastic event!”

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
