Support Dogs is a charity dedicated to saving and improving the lives of families affected by autism, epilepsy and physical disability. Established over 30 years ago they run three main programmes of support:
Epilepsy Seizure alert dogs; Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in the UK. 3 people die every day as a result of a seizure. These dogs are trained to provide a 100% reliable warning, to the exact minute up to 1 hour before every seizure a client has.
Autism assistance dogs; These provide safety and support for an autistic child and their family. It facilitates a more active and inclusive life enabling a child to access education and health services, leave the house, develop language and social confidence.
Disability Assistance Dogs; These support people living with long term physical disability, most commonly including conditions such as MS, cerebral Palsy and spinal cord injury. The dogs act as carers for the client providing 24/7 support with day to day tasks such dressing and undressing, opening doors, picking up objects, fetching items and providing support and getting help in emergencies.
The charity provides all it services entirely free of charge and is currently providing over 40,000 hour of support over the next year to families in the Mansfield area at a cost to the charity of over £100,000.
1 in 4 of every dog that the charity has worked with over the past 30 years has joined them either from rescue or as an unwanted pet dog. The charity describes itself as champions of the second chance, giving the chance for dogs who have had a tougher star in life, to have the care and training they need to have a wonderful life as a vital, caring support dog.
