Its Sarahs birthday on the 17th November and we're doing a birthday charity fundraising for her. Sarah can afford to buy anything she wants so this is something nice we can all do as fans to celebrate her birthday.
We asked Sarah what charity she would like us to raise money for this year and this is the one she requested. You might remember she went to visit Canine Partners as part of the Pride of Britain tour in 2014.
Canine Partners is a registered charity that transforms the lives of people with physical disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs. Our amazing dogs bring a greater independence and quality of life to their partners, offering security, companionship, and practical help with everyday household tasks. These life-changing dogs also provide psychological and social benefits including increased independence, confidence, social interaction and self-esteem.
We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations from the public and legacies to help us continue our life-transforming work.
Our assistance dogs are trained to meet the needs of individuals with even the most complex physical disabilities. We currently help adults aged 18 and over (both civilians and former service personnel) who have a physical disability or condition that affects their daily life and limits their independence.
Some of the disabilities and conditions we work with are:
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal injuries and head injuries
- Stroke
- Osteoarthritis and scoliosis
- Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
- Friedrich’s ataxia
- Fibromyalgia
- Muscular dystrophy
- Spina bifida
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones)
We are working in partnership with Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion and other services organisations to provide assistance dogs for veterans and those wounded in service
