This week is Big Cat Week at Cats Protection so we’re calling on adventure-seekers to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime challenge in India. The trip sees participants completing a challenging four-day trek across the Lesser Himalayan Range, and taking part in conservation work at the Kanha National Park.

The East Northumberland and Gateshead & District Branches of Cats Protection have joined forces to raise funding to support their work in the north east of England.

Volunteers’ Week is an annual opportunity for all organisations involving volunteers join together and celebrate the huge contribution and positive impact volunteers make across the UK and around the world.
