“Thank you so much to Petplan Charitable Trust for the grant of £17,000. This will make a huge difference to our work, giving our assistance dogs in training wonderful new fit-for-purpose accommodation and welfare facilities at our Midlands Training Centre.

“This grant will help us to train more of our very special dogs to learn how to help physically disabled people live with greater independence and a better quality of life. We are immensely grateful and your generosity will make a huge difference to our work, for years to come.”

Canine Partners’ Trusts and Grants Officer, Sara Read.
