We're proud to support Darwin Dogs a charity that specialises in training assistance dogs to provide unwavering support, comfort, and companionship to those navigating the complex journey of mental health.

They needed to expand from working out of volunteers' homes into their own office space.

Our multi-year grant of £42,834, awarded for salaries, outreach, and capacity, will enable them to expand and train more assistance dog partnerships.

Julie, the CEO says, "Our new office space allows privacy, a space for client meetings, for staff and volunteer meetings and for future recruitment, which all will allow Darwin Dogs to grow and thrive, to continue to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable people, helping to train more assistance dogs."

She also reports that their new staff member has started, "enabling them to take on at least 10 new trainees a year, taken from the list of people who have been waiting the longest and are desperate to start their training."

We’re excited to be at the #ADCH2025, especially as they celebrate their 40th anniversary!

As the UK’s largest animal welfare conference, the Association of Dogs & Cats Homes Conference gathers around 550 delegates from the UK, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man.

It’s important for us to stay connected and understand the challenges facing our partners in the animal rescue sector.

We’re really enjoying the lectures, with streams from RSPCA (England & Wales), Dogs Trust, Cats Protection, Blue Cross UK and Woodgreen Pets Charity 🫶

Pups like smiley Shep at National Animal Welfare Trust Bedfordshire will be benefitting from the new van, thanks to our £24,338 grant 👏

Alex from the rescue says, “This incredible grant has allowed us to purchase a much-needed new van for our centre. We are a very busy centre with new animals arriving each week. With approximately 40-50 animals in our care at any given time that’s a lot of vet trips! The vet practise we use is half an hour drive away and so a well-equipped and reliable van is vital to our operation."
