Rukeri, a brand of Salt and Grit Solutions Ltd, has donated a pallet of turf to Hillhead Pets Corner, a local Pets Charity, based in Kilbirnie.

Hillhead Pets Corner was set up in 2012 with the main aim of helping vulnerable children, young adults and families experience the outdoors and express themselves within a safe, controlled environment. This includes work experience opportunities and various workshops all aimed at expanding knowledge and providing practical experience in conservation. There are a number of different species housed at the Pet Corner, including a pig, a tortoise, Goats, Hens, Giant Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Quails, Peacocks and a range of other birds. The charity relies on a team of dedicated volunteers for day to day operations and also reaches out in to the community for help in the way of practical donations.

As a local turf grower who supply turf throughout all of the UK, Rukeri was approached for a turf donation that would be used in several animal enclosures with a view to making the living quarters more comfortable before winter kicks in properly. Angela Smith, a director of Rukeri, was happy to be able to help as not only does she agree that it is a worthwhile venture – Angela has always had a soft spot for animals!
