We are delighted to announce that we have received funding from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund. This grant has made it possible to fully equip new members and dogs with all the essential equipment and PPE they need.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
This week we sadly had to say goodbye to Merlin, one of our L3 Search Dogs after a short illness.
Merlin was a very special dog who followed in his sister Sassys footsteps in qualifying as an area Search Dog.
He never failed to make an impression on everyone who met him. Whether it was his massive grin, his enviable work ethic or his penchant for jellyfish and face wipes.
He will be dearly missed by everyone.
Stand down Merlin.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. We’re thinking of you all.
So very sorry to hear this. Stand down now Merlin. Your work is done. Run free over the bridge xx
Sad times, run free Merlin. Woofs and bum wiggles from Search Dog Oppo and Chhubohe, the young apprentice.
Sorry to hear this, such a lovely boy
Very sad my thoughts are with you.
Oh no sorry to hear that 😂
So sorry for you loss x sweet dreams Merlin x
Sorry for your loss 💔
On #WorldMentalHealthDay we want to remind our followers, our volunteers and all the members of the public that we come into contact with that it’s okay to not be okay.
You matter.
Your mental health matters.
You are not alone.
If you need someone to talk please make use of the Samaritans 24/7 helpline on 116123.
