It’s Trustees’ Week, and we want to say a big thank you to all our trustees!

You each bring your own experience and perspective to Hounds for Heroes. Much of what you do happens behind the scenes, and we really appreciate the time you give, the expertise you share and the care you take in guiding our charity.

Thank you for the commitment you show to our team, our dogs and the partnerships we’re here to support. That support matters from the day a pup arrives at Hounds to the years they spend alongside their Partner. We’re so lucky to have you as part of Hounds. 💙

It might be Friday the 13th, but there’s nothing unlucky about this news! 🐾

Everyone, meet Dexter! He’s joining Hounds for Heroes and turning one today. Two very good reasons to celebrate! 🎉

Dexter found his way to us through a rather lovely series of connections. After arriving at an animal shelter, he caught the attention of people in the Fire and Rescue community who saw his potential and thought of Hounds for Heroes. A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring him to us.

Judging by that snooze, Dexter’s already found his comfy spot! A big thank you to his foster family for welcoming him into their home and helping him settle in. We’re looking forward to sharing how he gets on as he begins his training.

Happy first birthday, Dexter, and welcome to the pack!

We’ve got some brilliant news to share this Trustees’ Week. Damian has joined the Hounds for Heroes Board of Trustees!

Damian brings 27 years of experience in the Emergency Services, from emergency response and investigations to policy and strategic auditing. He also knows Hounds as a Partner.

After sustaining life changing injuries while serving in an operational role, Damian was partnered with his first Hounds for Heroes assistance dog, Trooper, in March 2016. He was then partnered with his successor dog, Gibson, in December 2018.

Damian, thank you for bringing your experience from the Emergency Services and your years as a Hounds Partner to the Board. We can’t wait to work with you. Welcome aboard!

At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front, marking the end of the fighting in the First World War.

108 years later, we still stop to remember.

Today, at 11am, people across the country will observe a two-minute silence to honour those who lost their lives, remember the sacrifices made by generations of service personnel, and reflect on the lasting impact of war and conflict.

Lest we forget.

We’re taking part in our very first Big Give Christmas Challenge, and your £10 could become £20! 🎉

📅 Save the date! Pop midday on Tuesday 1 December in your diary. We can’t wait to get started. Donations will be open from then until midday on Tuesday 8 December.

Donations through our Big Give page will be doubled while match funds last. If you help us raise £20,000 that week, our match funders will add another £20,000.

That’s £40,000 to help train more Assistance Dogs like Jack, so more people can get out with confidence and do the things they love. 🐾

A big thank you to our match funders for making this possible: Senior Rates’ Mess HMS Victory, AirTanker, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and our Big Give Champion, Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

Double the donation, double the difference this Decemeber!

Today, on Remembrance Sunday, we come together to honour the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces, past and present.

We remember those who gave their lives, recognise the commitment of those who have served and continue to serve, and acknowledge the lasting impact of service and conflict on families, friends and communities.

Remembrance means something different to each of us. For some, it's deeply personal. For others, it's a chance to pause, reflect and show their gratitude. Whether we gather at a memorial, wear a poppy or take a quiet moment to ourselves, remembrance brings us together.

We will remember them.

Brian and Marine have been sharing their story with BBC Radio Solent! 💙🐾

Our Head of Income, Debbie, joined Brian and his assistance dog, Marine, in the studio recently to talk about Hounds for Heroes and what life together as a partnership looks like.

It was a lovely opportunity to share more about our work, but even better to hear Brian talk about his own experiences and the difference Marine makes to his everyday life.

Our Hounds learn all sorts of practical skills to support their Partners, but there's so much more to these partnerships than the tasks they're trained to do. It's about having someone to rely on, the confidence to enjoy more of life's opportunities, and the friendship that comes with sharing everyday life.

A big thank you to everyone at BBC Radio Solent for welcoming us into the studio and giving Brian the chance to share his story.

And of course, thank you to Brian and Marine for representing Hounds so wonderfully! 💙

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Information Morning at Hounds HQ today! 💙

Ryan, who’s partnered with assistance dog Comet, shared what having Comet by his side means to him and the difference it makes to his everyday life. Puppy Parent Donna took us back to where it all begins, sharing what goes into raising a Hounds pup and helping them grow in confidence. Thank you both for taking the time to share what life with a Hounds dog looks like.

Chelsea, Tilly and our dog training team showcased some of the everyday tasks our assistance dogs learn, so visitors could see that practical support in action. And Chelsea was in her element meeting everyone and soaking up the attention! 🐾

It was lovely to spend the morning with you.

Thanks again to everyone who made time to visit us and all our volunteers, staff, Tilly and Chelsea who made it possible
