Mr Steve Thomson, CEO of the Birmingham branch, said: \u201cThe launch of Paws for a Cause is a vital step in the commitment to continue empowering older people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor many of them that are disadvantaged, the companionship and practical assistance provided by Support Dogs are not a luxury; they are a lifeline.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Dogs provides life-changing assistance dogs for adults with physical disabilities and epilepsy, as well as children with autism, and is currently facing a waiting-list crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 360Wire-backed campaign aims to tackle the issue by raising \u00a31000 for 10 autistic children to meet a support dog, securing 15 sponsors for autism assistance dog Peggy, and having 10 people register interest as puppy socialisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age UK frequently hosts events to raise funds and engage the community, such as the Innocent Big Knit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Steve Thomson added: \u201cThese incredible animals can help our clients maintain their routine, reduce isolation and crucially enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis campaign will ensure the essential support continues to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
