A host of celebrities turned out last week for a prestigious fundraising event at The Imperial War Museum on behalf of Canine Partners (Registered Charity No. 803680), a charity specialising in providing highly trained assistance dogs to people with disabilities.

Star guests at the auction led by Lord Hindlip, which raised over Ł100K, included Baroness Thatcher, Lord Tebbitt, Kirsty Allsopp, Clare Francis and Martin Clunes.

Two hundred and fifty guests attended on the night, which was orchestrated by a group of tireless volunteers led by Lady Pearson of Rannoch, to raise vital funds to support the ever growing number of people with disabilities that are applying for a Canine Partner.

Canine Partners trains dogs for two years at a cost of ÂŁ10,000 to master an amazing list of skills and helps transform the lives of people with major disabilities, from all walks of life and all over Great Britain; and in doing so, helps them back into education and employment. Apart from practical skills, the dogs also enable significant therapeutic benefit, providing the recipients with constant love and companionship.
