Giving back to our communityOne of the great bonuses of running a business, is that you meet all sorts of great people along the way. Some of these people turn into clients, some of them turn into friends!
And sometimes you end up involved with a charitable cause that can benefit from your particular expertise. We worked on a great project with DCH Adoptions in 2012 - an animal rescue group that works with Dogs, Cats and Horses. At this stage, DCH is a network of foster carers who collect unwanted dogs and cats (and horses!) from Sydney pounds. The foster carers look after the animals in their homes, for as long as necessary until they find their 'forever homes' with new families. The founders of DCH have bigger plans, though, and have been focusing on raising enough money to fund an actual physical shelter. This means they will rescue and look after a greater number of animals outside the foster carer network. SHELTER: a photo book of rescue success storiesWe collaborated on producing a photo book for DCH which featured the happy-ever-after stories of foster animals who were successfully rehomed through DCH Animal Adoptions. It was a massive project, spanning almost a year, but the end result was so worth it.
Cathy donated her photography expertise, capturing portraits of the animals and their owners. A friendly writer-type donated his time to writing up all the stories. And Emma pulled it all together into a beautifully designed layout that resulted in the final printed book. Some pictures that featured in the book
The final productThe book was printed using the Blurb platform, where it is possible to purchase a copy. All proceeds from sales of the book go towards helping DCH get closer to making possible the realisation of their own half-way house animal shelter for lost and abandoned animals
