The Chelsea and Mr French Fund

The Chelsea and Mr French Fund (C & M F Fund) is named after two dogs who gave comfort and support to Ms Seymour, a generous supporter of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust. Grants of up to £10,000 awarded.

Projects should focus on offering practical and compassionate solutions for dog owners experiencing hardship. This could include the onset of situations such as domestic abuse, homelessness or sudden illness.

Grants could be used for any kind of support for dogs which will allow owners to focus on getting themselves the help they require, e.g. providing emergency vet treatment or sourcing temporary foster care.
