When Vodafone contact us about a team building and volunteering day, we knew we had just the job for them! Staff swapped their smart office ware for hob-nail boots and gardening gloves to help us create a new access path to our dog free running area and a beautiful garden for our partnerships to enjoy while they train at the centre.
In addition to the challenge event, staff fundraised for Dogs for the Disabled prior to the event and also had input from the Dogs for the Disabled training team and partnerships to learn the impact that an assistance dog can have on a disabled person.
