Canine Partners
Canine Partners is a progressive charity which aims to transform the lives of people with disabilities enabling them to lead more independent lives by providing them with highly trained assistance dogs.
A Canine Partner can assist with tasks such as opening and closing doors and cupboards, retrieving a whole range of different items, undressing, pressing buttons and switches, unloading the washing machine and a whole range of emergency procedures.
In 2006 Canine Partners approached Lorraine to see if she would like to establish a Regional Training satellite Centre in Bedford. Since then Lorraine has successfully recruited a fantastic team of volunteer Puppy Parents, Foster Parents and fund-raisers. She is responsible for the initial training and socialising of the specially selected puppies during their first year.
For more information on how you can help, call Lorraine on 07787114447.
