Raise Pennies for Puppies and Pounds for Hounds!
If you've decided you'd like to support our work as part of a club, through your work or even as a group of friends, then you may like to consider fundraising to help support the work of a particular part of the charity's work. Whatever you decide to do, your fundraising efforts will make a big difference to our work and will truly help us to train more assistance dogs for disabled people.
Here are just a few ideas of how your donation will help:
Purchase a Puppy - £750
Full of mischief and promise our young labrador and golden retriever pups will one day be helping a disabled person fulfil there potential. You can help support the charity's work by purchasing one of our youngest recruits. Your donation will also help buy a puppy starter kit with bed, collar, lead and essential vaccinations.
In return you'll receive a photograph of your special pup, introductory letter and update as your pup commences training.
Support Local Partnerships - £2,500
Every partnership created by Dogs for the Disabled is supported throughout their working life and into retirement. Aftercare support includes regular vet checks, visits from a qualified instructor and round the clock support from our dedicated team when required.
Aftercare is an essential part of the charity's work and your donation will be working hard to support partnerships in or close to your region.
In return for your donation you'll receive a photograph of a partnership, an update on the highlights of their year and where possible we'll arrange visit to your group from a registered speaker.
Sponsor a Dog - £5,000
Help us to change the lives of a disabled person by training an assistance dog to help a disabled child or adult. Your support will help us purchase a puppy, get all the socialisation it needs with a volunteer family before commencing its training at around twelve months old. Training an assistance dog at our national training centre takes around six months, but its worth it. Our trainee partnerships leave our centre full of optimism and hope for their future together - your donation will help their dreams come true.
By Sponsoring a Dog through its training you'll receive a framed photograph, updates throughout your sponsorship year and you'll also be offered a tour around our national training centre where we'll make every effort for you to meet your sponsored dog.
We'd love to hear all about your fundraising and how you'd like to support us, so please call us today on 01295 252600. We can also let you have tools to assist you with your fundraising and where possible we'll try to arrange a visit from a local partnership.
