Every year we ask our supporters to Walk a Golden Mile for Dogs for Autism! Let’s #WAG!
Take part in a mile walk anywhere in the UK during the weekend of 1st & 2nd July and help us continue our life-changing work for Autism.
This event is open to everyone, so bring your furry friends and let’s have a fantastic time while supporting a great cause. Your involvement can make a real impact on the lives of individuals with autism and their families.
Walk a Golden Mile is an opportunity for us to take part in a collective walk for Autism. First started in 20219, Walk a Golden Mile soon became a popular way for our supporters to take part in a walk for our charity.
By taking part in this annual walk, your small donation fee of £5 helps our charity cover some of the basic costs to raise and train an autism assistance dog, providing funding for the little everyday essentials that help keep our dogs happy and healthy.
This year we teamed up with our sponsors Oscar Pet Foods and our friends at the charity walking app trundl. As an extra bonus, trundl are giving one month’s free trial* of the app to everyone who sign’s up to Walk a Golden Mile. This means that you can help raise even more funds with your everyday walks.

Sign up to join Walk a Golden Mile here by 26th June and we’ll send you a special DfA bandana for your dog. We also have branded giveaways for those who don’t have a dog!

In 2020 Dr Khan published ‘The Doctor will see you now’, which explores the highs and lows of life as a GP in the UK.
As an avid supporter of the nation’s health and wellbeing, Dr Khan is well-known for his informative short videos outlining the signs and symptoms of health conditions and is a great believer in patient self-awareness. We are thrilled that he has joined our charity to help champion our work and raise awareness of the life changing role of our assistance dogs.
