2025 Applications
Expression of Interest Applications
Applications are now closed
We have received over 700 expressions of interest during the two week application window. Sadly, we are only able to invie 50 through to the next stage. These will be randomly picked via ballot.
If you haven’t heard from us, by August 11th, you were unsuccessful in getting to the next stage. We know how disappointing this will be and we are so sorry that we can’t help more of you. As you know, we don’t charge for our dogs or receive government funding and are therefore completely reliant on donations, which limits the number of dogs we can train.
We hope to open again for expressions of interestnext year and would welcome you to reapply then.

Step 2
If you are eligible, happy with the commitment of having an assistance dog and are available to attend an information day either on Saturday 4th October 2025 – 10am-3pm or Thursday 16th October 2025 – 10am-3pm, go to Step 3.
Step 3
Fill out the Expression of Interest Form to register your interest. The form will be open to applications for a period of two weeks after it opens.
Step 4
The ballot system will select the required number of spaces available at random. Given the anticipated volume of applications, if you haven’t heard from us within two weeks, unfortunately, it means that your application wasn’t selected.
If your application has been selected, you will receive an email within two weeks of this form closing. Please ensure that the email address you give on the Expression of Interest Form is correct.
Step 5
The selected applicants will receive a link to complete and submit the full application form.
Along with the link to the application form, you will be provided with a deadline for submission.
