From calendars to cuddly dog toys, tea towels to travel mugs there is a vast array of gifts starting from just £1. The 2013 Christmas card selection features new designs especially for this season.
And for those looking for a long-term gift that gives all year round, there is the Adopt a Puppy Scheme. For just £1 a week you will give a family member or friend the opportunity of following a Canine Partners puppy from its initial training right through into its partnership with one of our disabled applicants.
Fiona Healy-hutchinson, director of fundraising and marketing, said:
“We have added to our product range, all of which is on our online shop, as it proves a popular way to buy Christmas presents whilst giving to a good cause.
“We have a wonderful new puppy calendar this year illustrated with a selection of photos of our puppies in training from all our puppy training satellites across the UK.
“We also have an I Love Canine Partners teddy bear, which would make an ideal gift for babies and small children. We value any support the community can give us in changing the lives of people with disabilities, and you can either buy online or place your order over the phone, so please let Canine Partners help with your Christmas shopping in the knowledge that you will be helping someone with a disability to benefit from one of our dogs.”
Iain Hamill, 34, has multiple sclerosis and was the recipient of Innie in 2010.
Iain said:
“Innie does a raft of physical tasks for me including the majority of fetching and carrying. However, some of the more subtle benefits of having a canine partner are just as important. After I had to retire I struggled with my sense of purpose. No longer was I the household breadwinner who went out to work each day, which I found very difficult. Since Innie came into my life I am not just Iain in a wheelchair, I am Iain and Innie; which has given me a new sense of identity.”
