Thanks for taking the time to visit the Southern Co-operative's Dragon Boat race JustGiving page.  We have 2 teams taking part from The Southern Co-operative (Team Retail Operations and Team Central Support) competing against other companies throughout Hampshire and surrounding areas. We are raising money for our new corporate charity, Canine Partners and therefore we're training around the around the clock to ensure one of our teams win!!! Canine Partners assists people with disabilities to enjoy a greater independence and quality of life through the provision of specially trained dogs, whose well-being is of a key consideration. The Charity aims to train dogs to meet the needs of the people with even the most complex disabilities including members of HM Armed Forces. Here's how your donation can help ... £800 supports the purchase of a new puppy from a breeder. £100 supports the provision of a "puppy starter pack" to a new puppy parent £15 supports the purchase of a collar and a lead when it reaches adulthood £5 supports the purchase of food and water bowls. Therefore every contribution, no matter how small, will help for this great cause.    Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity. So please dig deep and donate now.
