A CEO of a leading UK charity has backed our campaign, Paws for a Cause. 

Age UK operates nationally and has regularly championed for older people to be included, valued and supported in society.

Mr Steve Thomson, CEO of the Birmingham branch, said: “The launch of Paws for a Cause is a vital step in the commitment to continue empowering older people. 

“For many of them that are disadvantaged, the companionship and practical assistance provided by Support Dogs are not a luxury; they are a lifeline.”  

The 360Wire-backed campaign aims to raise £1000 for 10 autistic children to meet a support dog, secure 15 sponsors for autism assistance dog Peggy, and have 10 people register interest as puppy socialisers.

Age UK frequently hosts events to raise funds and engage the community, such as the Innocent Big Knit. 

Mr Steve Thomson added: “These incredible animals can help our clients maintain their routine, reduce isolation and crucially enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes. 

“This campaign will ensure the essential support continues to thrive.”
