Support our work
As our charity is expanding, we invite you to get involved and be a part of our journey, whilst receiving recognition for supporting a good cause. There are many ways you can support CareDogs, from corporate sponsorship to fundraising activities - or maybe you are a private care home wishing to book a visit from our adorable CareDogs to meet your residents.

Corporate Sponsorship
Our corporate sponsorship packages are a great way to engage and motivate your staff or members. Become a part of our charity’s journey whilst being recognised for supporting a good cause.
The types of sponsorship that our corporate partners can support include:
Sponsor our CareDogs Package
Your sponsorship could go towards our amazing CareDogs! They are what makes our befriending service so unique. Each CareDog requires a custom-fit uniform (bandana), and their volunteer requires training and background checks. A great way to motivate your team is by receiving updates and photos from our CareDogs about how they have been helping in the community.
Sponsor our Community Events Package
Your sponsorship could go towards running our community walking events. We make our community walking events as accessible to as many people as possible. Your sponsorship could help with the planning, organisation and delivery of our important community events. A great way to showcase your brand, like Barnett Waddingham.
Donate your products or services
Are you a pet supplier with a product you’d like to donate to our volunteers or CareDogs? Perhaps you are a marketing firm and want to sponsor some of our merchandise? We would love to hear from you, so please get in touch, just like Freshwipes Ltd, who sponsored our Volunteer Goody Bags, with their biodegradable pet wipes.
Make CareDogs your Charity of the Year
Choosing CareDogs as your Charity of the Year is a rewarding way to make a local impact by helping tackle loneliness among older people through the joy of dog companionship. Your support could include team fundraising activities like bake sales, charity walks, dress-down days, as well as volunteering. Every pound raised helps us connect isolated older people with friendly volunteers and their dogs. Let’s solve social isolation, one dog walk at a time.
Fundraising
Whether you are an individual or a business looking for ways to support CareDogs, we’ve got everything covered!

Dog Walking Challenge – Walk a certain number of miles with your dog over a month and get sponsored.
Birthday Fundraiser – Ask for donations instead of gifts, using platforms like JustGiving or Facebook Fundraisers.
Car Boot Sale – Sell your unwanted things at a car boot and donate the proceeds to CareDogs.
Care Home Visits
Are you a local care home with residents of varying mobility?
No problem at all! We understand the importance of accessibility and inclusion.
If you have an accessible green space or grounds, we can bring the heartwarming experience of CareDogs right to your doorstep. Our volunteers and their furry companions are ready to spread joy and companionship in the comfort of your care home’s outdoor surroundings.
We do ask a small donation to our charity to help us keep running this service.
