Application Process – 2024
Expression of Interest Applications
Applications are now closed.
We have received over 450 expressions of interest during the two week application window. Sadly, we are only able to invie 50, randomly picked via ballot, through to the next stage.
If you haven’t heard from us, you were unsuccessful during this round. 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 interest in June 2025 and would welcome you to reapply then.

Application Process
Step 1
Download and read through the above document ‘Application Guide’
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 22nd September or 6th October at 10am to 12pm, go to Step 3.
Step 3
Fill out the Expression of Interest Form to register your interest. The form will be open to applications from 27th May to 10th June and will be shown below from 27th May.
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 four weeks, unfortunately, it means that your application wasn’t selected.
If your application has been selected, we will contact you via the email address that you registered with us in the expression of interest form.
Step 5
The selected applicants will be emailed requirements for the next stage. Please note, you will only have a two week window to fill this out. Any late entries will be discounted.
