The Jewish Blind & Disabled PETron scheme is a unique fundraising initiative, where supporters can sign their furry or feathery friends up as supporters.
Becoming a PETron costs just £5 a month (or £60 a year) and comes with a name tag and certificate, special toys, treats and entry to the annual competition.
Ashley said: “I’m looking forward to seeing some cute pets, all of whom are helping a very special cause.”
Jewish Blind & Disabled Chief Executive Hazel Kaye added: “This competition is one our favourite parts of the year – with so many fantastic photos sent in.
“Best of all, every PETron signed up enables us to continue to provide a life of independence, dignity and choice.”
