**The Pets at Home Foundation is launching a new charity initiative for summer 2022,
which will result in a minimum donation of £250,000 for one national charity. **

Charities with a nationwide reach that support the wellbeing of pets and their people
are [invited to apply](https://www.petsathomefoundation.co.uk/news/new-summer-2022-fundraiser/)
to be the Foundation’s summer 2022 charity partner. Then, following an initial selection
process, Pets at Home colleagues will take part in a company-wide vote to choose
the charity. The selected charity will receive funding and support from the Pets
at Home Group over a four week appeal in July 2022. 

The summer campaign will be in addition to a new Valentine’s weekend fundraiser,
which together with the Foundation’s Santa Paws appeal, will support local rescues
and charities across the country.

Pet[s at Home Foundation](https://www.petsathomefoundation.co.uk/) Fundraising Manager,
Amy Wilson, said:

> “2022 will be a very exciting year for the Foundation. Our new summer initiative
> opens the door for new national charity partners to benefit from our fundraising
> and we’re really looking forward to hearing from a range of them who can deliver
> services and projects on a national scale.
>  
> “Whilst we’re looking for one national charity partner for the summer, it’s really
> important to us that the chosen charity has strong links back to local communities
> and their work really benefits the people and pets in these communities.
>  
> “We’re also excited about our new Valentine’s weekend fundraiser to support local
> charities and rescues and really believe that these new initiatives coupled with
> our hugely successful Santa Paws campaign, will mean we can help even more people
> and pets than ever before.”

The Pets At Home Foundation was formerly called Support Adoption For Pets. Over 
the years it has given out over £24 million of funding through the grant programme
and community relationships. Last year, [this included £700,000](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/03/24/covid-19-pets-at-home-and-safp-to-donate-700000-to-local-pet-rescue-charities/)
to rescue centres and animal charities across the UK facing financial hardship as
a result of the pandemic.
