Canine Partners is a registered charity (no. 803680) which receives
no government funding and is wholly dependent upon public donations
and legacies. The purpose of Canine Partners is to assist people
with disabilities to enjoy a greater independence and a better quality
of life and, where possible, to help them into education and employment,
through the provision of specially trained dogs, whose well-being
is a key consideration.

Bluebell Walk is a campaign that was launched in 2005
to raise money for the charity. The walks are a great way of getting
supporters together with their family, friends and work colleagues,
to have fun, get fit, and you don't even need to have a dog to
take part!

Bluebell
Walk 2011
Canine Partners are delighted to announce the 2011 Bluebell
Walks campaign. The idea is for sponsored walks to take place
during April to June when the bluebells are expected to bloom.
The walks give supporters the opportunity to get together
with family, friends and other dog lovers, taking part in
something fun and worthwhile. |
"Help us make the 2011 Bluebell Walks campaign the biggest
and best yet. Since starting these Bluebell Walks you have raised
nearly £100,000 in support of our work. Our aim is to raise
funds and encourage families, friends and colleagues to take part
in something fun, healthy and worthwhile. You are more than welcome
to bring your dog!"
"Every
penny raised from the registrations fees and sponsorship will
help us to train more dogs and meet the demand of people on our
waiting list."
A
Bluebell
Walk can be for 5-500 people, covering distances from 1 mile to
10 miles or longer if you wish and participants don't even have
to own a dog. Anyone interested in organising a walk in their
local area should get in touch with Canine Partners for more information.
Canine Partners will of course help you to organise your walk.
All walk organisers will be sent a free information pack containing
details on how to make the walk a great success, as well as sponsorship
forms, pens and stickers. Canine Partners are also happy to help
publicise local walks to ensure the highest level of participation.
If you want to take part but don't have bluebells growing near
you, don't worry, you can still hold a walk in your local woods
or park.
