Cheque presentation for Dogs for Autism at new charity training centre
Last week Styles & Associates Accountancy presented us with a very generous cheque of over £2000 raised from the charity fundraising night.
Laura, our Community Engagement and Fundraising Officer and Sue, the Operations Manager at DfA, received the cheque from Kate Corbin at Styles & Associates.
Kate has previously been a puppy parent for Dogs for Autism. Buzzy, one our trainee assistance dogs helped Laura and Sue receive the cheque!
Arthur, Laura’s Black Labrador and newest ‘Ambassadog’ for DfA, helped show Kate the new training centre at The Lavender Fields, Selborne. The training centre has recently undergone an expansive make-over thanks to the hard work from the Run the Ring volunteer team.
Every penny kindly raised from events such as the Styles & Associates Race Night help us continue our work providing autism assistance dogs, free of charge to autistic people of any age, anywhere in the UK.

Grand Opening of The Doghouse with Patron Chris Packham
Our new training centre
On Sunday 23rd July Dogs for Autism marked a momentous occasion with the opening of our new training centre, The Doghouse.
Chris Packham, patron of our charity, renowned naturalist and television presenter, officially unveiled the plaque to open the new Dogs for Autism training centre with CEO, Hilary Armour.
Special thanks to the Run the Ring team, all our charity ambassadors including our most recent ambassador, Dr Scott Miller Vet On The Hill, who helped us officially open ‘The Doghouse’ with invited partners, their assistance dogs and friends.
Thank you to VDub Radio
The day went with a swing thanks to some incredible tunes from the team at The Sunday Social Show from VDub Radio. Presenters John and Barrie from the Sunday Social Show broadcast LIVE from the event, getting everyone involved and their presence certainly elevated the whole day.
With the help of the incredible Run the Ring volunteers, The Doghouse has been transformed into the perfect place for all our trainee assistance dogs to learn and develop their skills.
The opening of the new training centre means that we can offer the best possible training for our assistance dogs in a modern, safe and high-spec environment.
To everyone who has given their time and specialist know-how, your hard work, dedication and creativity are an inspiration to all of us. Your work will enable our autistic partners realise their full potential and help change lives.
