We are going to train more amazing assistance dogs to give people with physical disabilities greater independence, dignity, freedom and reassuring companionship. These funds will help us to recover from the impact of Covid-19 and rebuild our life-transforming services around the UK.

Situation
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the isolation felt by our most clinically vulnerable and the need for frontline care and regular communication in order to maintain both physical and mental wellbeing. For those with physical disabilities, demands on the NHS and the need to shield meant many found themselves more isolated than ever. Anxiety grew in tandem with the threat to health. People who would have benefited greatly from having a canine partner had their applications put on hold.
Solution
We will train more of our amazing assistance dogs to give people with physical disabilities the ability to remain independent, the motivation to get up and go out each day, the companionship that means they are never alone and the security of having help at hand 24 hours a day. We are resuming the activities which were put on hold in the pandemic and giving more people the gift of independence so they can be safe, well and positive about their future.
