Duerr’s Digs Deep for Joshua Tree Kids

Duerr’s recently joined The Joshua Tree charity to start work on a new adventure playground in Cheshire designed specifically for children living with the life-changing experience of childhood cancer. 

The playground is being made possible thanks to a massive donation of £40,000, which was raised at our annual ball which took place in November last year. 

The £40k we raised will build a brand new all-ability playground at the support centre The Joshua Tree is building in Sandiway, Northwich and is due to open in 2019.

The Joshua Tree charity supports families across the North West and North Wales living with childhood cancer, providing help that is tailored to their needs.

The extensive, all access outdoor play area will provide families visiting its centre with a vital chance to play without risk of infection; a crucial consideration for immunosuppressed children who are advised not to play in public playcentres or playgrounds when undergoing treatment. 

It will also provide families with a space to receive therapy through play, enabling them to build memories together during a challenging time. 

Special features will include a story telling chair, musical play, an outdoor gym, rope climbs, scramble nets and a water wall. All of which are designed to encourage imaginative and social play and to allow children of different abilities to play side by side.

Join us to make a difference… We are hosting another Duerr’s spectacular this November. Join us in raising money for Cashforkids. Call 0161 946 0535 for more information.

Hamish’s Top Tips for Keeping Your Pooches Entertained with Peamutt Butter

Looking for easy ways to entertain your pup using Peamutt Butter? We asked our Official Peamutt Butter Taster his favourite ways to enjoy the tasty treat and stay busy…

  • Barkin’ good biscuits: The most delicious post-walkies treat! My human often whips up a batch when I’ve been an extra good boy – but I could eat them all day, everyday! Find my pal Honey’s secret recipe here.
  • Can’t go wrong in a kong: Yum, the classic! I could spend hours chewing on my kong, especially when my human adds in a big scoop of Peamutt Butter. I absolutely love it and she’s glad that it keeps me from stealing her socks, teehee!
  • Bath time: I really, really hate baths – who wants to smell like daisies when I could be rolling around in lovely, squishy mud? Much more fun! But a dollop of Peamutt Butter on the side of the bath definitely makes my least favourite time of the week more bearable.
  • Pawsitively perfect pupcakes: On super special occasions (like Sundays), my human treats me to these woof-tastic canine-friendly cupcakes. She loves that they’re really quick and easy to make, and I love that they’re so tasty!
  • Straight from the jar: …Guilty! The perfect end to a ruff day chasing leaves, I just can’t get enough.

Getting to know…Hamish!

Worst habits: Chasing my humans socks and nibbling on her feet – it drives her barking mad, but it’s oh so much fun!

Favourite toy: My blankey – it’s so soft yet so chewable, it’s great for a game of tug of war too!

Pet peevs: Other doggies stealing my human for cuddles. It’s a dog eat dog world out there y’know…  

Party trick: Giving big high fives when you leashed expect them – I get special treats when I do these!

Favourite outfit: My Woody from Toy Story costume, I look pawsitively fetching in it – yee-haw!

Best part of the day: Relaxing snuggles with my human in her fluffy dressing gown after a ruff day of working my tail off.

Favourite song: Who let the dogs out, woof, woof, woof – it’s a classic y’know

Describe yourself in 3 words: I’m a big softie, loveable and Peamutt Butter’s biggest fan!
