Blyth charity dog walk on 22 August welcomes shorter joins
Dog owners and supporters can join a five-mile charity dog walk for PDSA in Blyth on Saturday 22 August. Commissioner’s Quay Inn is hosting the community event, with donations encouraged and participation open to local residents, returning customers and newcomers.
The walk will follow a route around Blyth, but participants do not have to complete all five miles. Designated checkpoints marked on the route map will allow people and their dogs to join at different points.
No start time has been published. Anyone planning to take part should collect a sponsor form directly from Commissioner’s Quay Inn and check the event details there before the day.
Five-mile route designed for flexible participation
The Commissioner’s Quay Inn team chose a dog walk after considering a charity activity that could involve staff and the wider community. Manager Jamie Briggs said the venue’s popularity with dog owners helped prompt the decision to support PDSA.
“We picked a dog walk because it’s something that all our team, returning locals, and new customers can get involved with,” Briggs said. He described five miles as a distance intended to support meaningful fundraising without discouraging people from joining.
The checkpoints add flexibility for walkers or dogs that may not want to cover the entire route. The supplied event information does not give the checkpoint locations, so participants will need to consult the route map provided by the organisers.
Dogs taking part are due to receive a special pack sponsored by dog treat company Sir Woofchesters. The source does not specify the contents of the packs or whether availability is limited.
The walk will raise money for PDSA
Funds collected through sponsorship and donations will support PDSA, the veterinary charity chosen by the hotel team. Briggs said the organisation’s work for people and pets was the reason behind the partnership.
PDSA vet nurse Shauna Walsh welcomed the Blyth event, saying activities of this kind bring people and pets together while raising money for animals in need. She thanked the Commissioner’s Quay Inn team and the local community ahead of the walk.
How to take part or make a donation
Sponsor forms can be collected from Commissioner’s Quay Inn in Blyth. A donation bucket is also available on the bar for people who want to support the fundraiser without joining the walk.
Donations are encouraged, but the announcement does not state a fixed participation charge or separate booking process. It also provides no confirmed start time, detailed transport guidance or accessibility arrangements. Prospective walkers should contact or visit Commissioner’s Quay Inn for those practical details and to pick up the route map and sponsor form.
