The basis of Veterans With Dogs' mission is on creating life-changing partnerships.  We fulfil our mission by developing partnerships between our former service personnel and assistance dogs.  That effort is supported and made possible through our partnerships with individual supporters, communities, organisations and corporations.

 

We welcome corporate partnerships as a means for us to realise financial support and the ability to reach more people about our programmes.  In turn, a partnership with VWD can help a company achieve some significant business benefits such as an enhanced image with customers, the demonstration of a commitment to social responsibility, the creation of product differentiation, the generation of an emotional connection to customers, and securing and retaining of valued employees.
 
Veterans With Dogs do not charge for the services we provide to recipients, so we must raise all funds necessary to support the placement of our assistance dogs.  Assistance dog sponsorships are instrumental in covering the costs associated with raising, training, boarding, lifetime medical care, and placement of an assistance dog with an individual who has a mental health condition. Veterans With Dogs is committed to covering the associated costs for the life of every assistance dog placed with a Veteran. This responsibility means we need considerable help to continue our mission.

We offer a wide variety of workplace giving and marketing opportunities that can best suit individual company interests, schedules and objectives. Our highly tailored approach has allowed us to achieve successful Business Partnerships with a range of different companies in the UK.

Fundraising is a great way to bring employees together and can improve personal development and team building. It is a clear indication of your company’s commitment to the local community, which can improve customer and client relations. Companies can further motivate their staff to get involved by offering to match their efforts.

If employees do not have the time to organise a fundraising event, they could always take part in someone else's, such as the London Marathon or a local fun run.
