Who we are
Hounds for Heroes is a UK registered charity who provide specially trained assistance dogs to injured or disabled personnel of both the UK Armed Forces and Emergency Services. We aim to provide help and practical support leading to an enhanced quality of life.
What we do:
Since its establishment in 2010, Hounds for Heroes have successfully partnered 18 specially trained assistance dogs with clients, currently have 10 active partnerships and delivered more than 79 dog years of specialist training. Our assistance dogs have proven to help someone overcome physical barriers and obstacles caused by their disability, promoting an increased sense of freedom and wellbeing and providing a loyal comrade and in many cases the beginning of a new life. We also understand that everyone’s needs and personalities are different, which is why we train our dogs to assist with general tasks as well as working on bespoke tasks to suit partners’ individual needs.
Why we need you:
Hounds for Heroes does not receive any government funding, therefore we rely solely on donations from the public and legacies to help us continue to enhance the lives of injured or disabled UK Armed Forces or Emergency Services personnel.
We want to help as many injured or disabled ex-service personnel as possible through the provision of our assistance dogs. It is our ambitious, yet necessary, mission to train and partner a minimum of eight new dogs per year from 2022 onwards. However, we need to raise £300,000 each year to achieve our goal. By supporting Hounds for Heroes you will help deliver this mission and give someone a better quality of life through a partnership with a specially trained assistance dog.

fundraising ideasA list of charities that we are partnered with are here for you to select. Some of the charities that we work with have fundraising targets and others are self-funded by yourself, each charity we work with will state if they will contribute to some of your jump cost or if you need to self-fund your own place.
You can book individually or as a group with just a £50 deposit per person on any operational day. Some of the charities we work with have reserved spaces on pre-selected days that you are more than welcome to join.
OK you’re all set – This is now the time to start fundraising for your selected charity, we recommend to set up an online fundraising page as all funds you raise will automatically go to the charity of your choice. Please remember you are unable to use any money raised to pay for your skydive and if you have a target set by the charity you have to hit this 3 weeks before the date of your jump to ensure these funds are online for the charity to see!
