This week we're joined by Ed Bracher, Chief Executive of Dogs For Good, the Charity that helps people overcome isolation, build confidence, and live more independent lives with their dogs trained as a perfect match.

Talking about new figures from the Charity’s Creating Possibilities Impact Report, it revealed after accessing the Charity’s services 93% felt more confident leaving the house, 89% became more independent when getting out and about and 92% reported an improvement in their mood.

The charity’s research also suggests that for every one person directly supported, a further six people benefit through wider family and community relationships, highlighting how dogs can create opportunities for greater social interaction and connection.
