The charity is looking for volunteers to visit schools, colleges and youth groups to talk about the work the charity does in transforming the lives of people with disabilities.

The charity trains dogs to do everyday tasks such as opening doors, undressing, pressing buttons and emergency response for those who would otherwise find it difficult.

“We are looking for volunteer education ambassadors to represent Canine Partners and engage local schools and youth groups by providing talks and workshops for children of all ages. This is a great way for us to spread the word about the work we do in training amazing assistance dogs.”

Training and support will be provided by the charity.
