Started voluntary work

I should of started voluntary dog walking for a dogs home the week after my 1st post on here, but they had to close due to a virus. They reopened this week so yesterday I did my first 2 dog walks. The first dog was a 8 year old Jack Russel called Max then I walked a small Whippet (I think) called Pooch both were good though pulled on lead and wasn't bothered over being stroked much. Pretty straight forward walk.

Today I've spoken to someone about starting a dog walking and pet sitting business they have helped me write a letter to a company that gives people money to help start businesses. I've only asked for £200 which will cover insurance cost and leave a bit left over, but would like to get some custom for when I do start. I'm not taking any loan as for the bit of money I'll need its not worth having to pay more back and I do have the money myself to get started if I have to use it.
