Canine Partners
This is an amazing charity that trains assistance dogs for poeple with physical disabilities including injured servicemen and women, providing greater quality of life and independence. The dogs are carefully matched to the needs of the disabled and about 1.2 million people use a wheelchair. They can perform everday tasks such as opening and shutting doors unloading washing machines, picking up dropped items,help with dressing, pressing buttons and switches and getting help in emergencies and this goes a long way to promoting confidence and self-esteem. The charity has no government funding and relies solely on public donations to find our more about this amazing organisation go to www.caninepartners.org.uk .
