BAFTA-winning actor, writer and broadcaster Sir Stephen Fry has backed Paws for a Cause, a campaign supporting the charity Support Dogs.
Sir Stephen Fry has long championed mental-health awareness and animal welfare, highlighting the vital role support dogs can play in improving lives.
He said: “Paws for a cause, what a wonderful initiative and a chance for us all to pause and reflect on what a life-changing comfort and vital support assistance dogs can be for those who most need them.”
Sir Stephen has spent more than four decades in British comedy, broadcasting and writing, rising to prominence with Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster.
Later, he appeared in Blackadder and hosted the BBC quiz show QI for 13 years, establishing himself as one of Britain’s most recognisable presenters.
The documentary The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive won an international Emmy and helped raise awareness of mental-health issues.
He recently appeared as a contestant on the 2025 UK series of The Celebrity Traitors, which he described as “emotionally violent” but said he would love to take part again.
Over his career, Sir Stephen has been nominated for 11 BAFTAs and in 2025, was knighted for his work raising awareness of mental-health issues, supporting the environment, and championing charitable causes.
The 360Wire-backed Paws for a Cause campaign aims to raise £1,000 for 10 autistic children to meet a support dog, secure 15 sponsors for autism-assistance dog Peggy, and recruit 10 puppy socialisers to help train future support dogs.
