The Big Chorleywood Bluebell Walk on 2 May raises money for Canine Partners is part of the Charity’s national Big Bluebell Dog Walk Campaign, which has raised more than £150,000 in the past 11 years.
“ The two and a half mile walk will be approximately an hour and refreshments and cake will be available for everyone taking part.” says organiser Paola Bryan, “Canine Partners does not receive any government funding and rely solely on donations.”
The charity provides specially trained assistance dogs to help people with disabilities such as opening and closing doors, undressing, pressing buttons, retrieving items, unloading washing machines, taking card and cash from ATMs and other everyday tasks that disabled people find difficult, painful or impossible to do for themselves.
Funds raised will help train more assistance dogs and transform the lives of people with disabilities, including wounded servicemen and women in conjunction with Help for Heroes
Canine Partner Bluebell Walk, 2 May Meet at Chorleywood House Estate WD3 5SL, 11am £4/£2/ £10 family of four. Dogs on leads welcome
