Donate & Support Crisis Response Dogs

​

Crisis Response Dogs is committed to providing ethical, trauma-informed support in moments of acute emotional distress. To continue delivering this specialist service safely and responsibly, long-term sustainability is essential.

​

Sustaining the Project

​

The Crisis Response Dogs project is currently funded by The National Lottery Community Fund until April 2027. This funding has enabled the development of training, safeguarding frameworks, volunteer support, and pilot deployments across South Wales.

​

To ensure the project can continue beyond this funding period, and to respond to growing demand, we are actively seeking additional financial support and partnerships.

​

Sustainability allows us to:

​

• Maintain high standards of safeguarding and governance

• Protect the welfare of dogs and volunteer handlers

• Provide ongoing training, supervision, and support

• Plan services responsibly rather than reactively

• Ensure Crisis Response Dogs remain free at the point of need where possible

​

Commercial Partnerships & Sponsorship

​

We welcome conversations with commercial partners and sponsors who share our commitment to community wellbeing, ethical practice, and mental health support.

​
