Hull University’s RAG Society are supporting our work to transform lives.

When deciding who to support for their Charity of the Semester, Hull University students voted overwhelmingly for Canine Partners after hearing about the work that we do in training dogs to transform the lives of disabled people. We are delighted that we proved so popular!

So far, the Hull RAG team have hosted a Take Me Out style event as well as a very colourful Colour Run which was attended by partnership Pam Quick and her canine partner Alucia who was a big hit with the students.

Ellie Wild, Publicity Officer for Hull RAG said:

“The reception to the Charity has been fantastic! Alucia proved to be very popular with all of the students and definitely brought a smile to everyone’s face! So far we have raised over £500, which we are really proud of and hope to add as much as possible to”.

“We love the work that Canine Partners do in training puppies to help improve so many people’s quality of life; by allowing them to live more independently and providing a friendship like no other! Hull RAG are extremely excited to be raising money and awareness for such an amazing cause”.

Helen Watkinson, National Fundraising and Community Engagement Manager said:

“We are delighted to be supported by Hull RAG, and we are incredibly grateful to them for helping us to raise awareness. All money raised will go to support the work of the Charity in the local area.”

Tomorrow (15 November), the Hull RAG are hosting a Dog Demo Day at their Student Union where students will be able to meet qualified canine partners, demonstration dogs and puppies in training. They are hoping to raise even more money for Canine Partners, and the students are very much looking forward to meeting our dogs and seeing what they can do.
