Volunteering your help
Puppy Parents
Volunteer Puppy Parents train our pups in their homes under our supervision and take part in regular training classes. There are various Satellite groups for you to join, around the UK. This is an excellent opportunity to help the Charity fulfill its mission, and we cover all expenses. Suits those with plenty of time to devote to a new hobby. Read more here.
Bed & Breakfast Volunteers and Foster Parents
If you only have limited time available, this may be the option for you. You can either foster pups for short periods, in one of the various Satellites, or, if you live near our Heyshott Centre (West Sussex) or our Fields Farm Centre (Midlands) you could foster dogs at weekends or overnight. Read more here!
Collection Tins
Collecting Tins can raise huge sums for the Charity - more than £30,000 in 2011 - so if you could distribute collecting tins to premises in your local area, and arrange collection and update, you will be helping to create new partnerships
Speakers
Help raise the awareness of Canine Partners by joining our network of volunteer speakers, spreading the word about our work. We give full training, support and promotional materials.
Computer skills
We could use your help in compiling spread sheets, in-putting data or collating information to streamline our administration.
Join a support group
Join our growing band of volunteer support groups nationwide, doing their bit to raise money or awareness of Canine Partners at local shows or events, or joining together to come up with fun ways of raising some money for us. We can put you in touch with these fantastic people, or you and your friends can start your own group!
Local store collections
Support groups and individuals can help by running collection days with the permission of local stores. Let us know if you'd like to do this and we'll arrange it for you.
Your professional experience can help too...
Whatever skill you have, there may well be a way of using it to help us with our work. In the past we have used the help and advice of photographers, film-makers, web designers, social media buffs and lots more besides. Please contact us with any ideas you may have.
