We are Dogs for Good. We help people build connections with dogs that can make everyday life possible - in so many ways. We bring people and dogs together to make life possible. By unlocking the boundless possibilities of the bond we share with dogs, and the positive change these connections can bring about for families, communities and society as a whole. Right now, millions of people in the UK are finding the world around them to be inaccessible or unsupportive of their needs. For many people, including those affected by disability, dementia, autism or mental ill health, life is increasingly difficult - and often isolating. At a time when demand for health and social care is soaring, not everyone can get the support that's right for them. Support that enables them to face each day with growing confidence, independence and a stronger sense of belonging. The kind of support that makes them feel more positive about themselves and their future. At Dogs for Good, we tailor our support to each person or group by first understanding their needs and goals. Our aim is always the same: to help people get the most from their connection with a dog. Family-Focused Workshops and Guidance: Our Family Dog workshops build stronger bonds with their own pet dog. Through practical guidance and expert advice, we show parents and carers how to use positive, reward-based techniques to create calm, confident interactions that can make a real difference to family life. Working in the Community: In partnership with local services, our community dogs and handlers work alongside people in schools, care homes and community settings. Together, they help individuals build confidence, achieve goals and experience the many benefits of connecting with a dog - often in ways that feel simple, natural and profoundly life-enhancing. Creating Assistance Dog Partnerships: Our assistance dogs are trained to provide both practical and emotional support, helping people better access the world around them and live fuller, more independent lives. Each partnership is carefully matched and supported over time, ensuring that both person and dog thrive together. It takes a dedicated team to make what we do possible - from our volunteers and colleagues, to our leadership team. Together, we share a commitment to making a difference every day.

The Shakespeare Hospice is based in Shottery, Stratford-upon-Avon. Each year, we support and care for over 1,000 adults and young people. We offer several specialised services to our patients, including: day hospice, hospice at home, counselling, pre and post bereavement support for families, young people and children, transitional care for 16–24 year olds, support for young carers, and spiritual, emotional, and complementary therapies. Our hospice is not just about end of life care; we provide support and compassion alongside our patients and their families throughout their journey from diagnosis through to treatment, and survivorship. All of our services are free at the point of delivery but they are not free to provide. We therefore rely heavily upon the generosity of the people in our local community. The Shakespeare Hospice is your local Hospice, and your support will ensure that we are here for you or your loved ones should you ever need us.
