Canine Partners is a charity set up to assist disabled people to enjoy greater independence and better quality of life through the help of specially trained dogs.

Over the last 5 years Mrs Walker's tutor groups have been sponsoring Canine Partners through sponsored spells, raffles and a collecting box.

Previously they have raised over £1000 and the present group have already raised £657 towards their target. Each £450 raised means that Canine Partners can buy and train a new puppy.
