Support Dogs - preloved sale
For one day only we will be running a pre-loved items sale, selling a wide range of second hand, nearly new and new items.
Support Dogs is a pioneering national charity based in Sheffield dedicated to providing life-saving and lifechanging health and social care for children and adults living with challenging medical conditions. We train specialist assistance dogs to achieve this.
We run three programmes: autism assistance dogs for children, disability assistance dogs for adults including our home care dogs and seizure alert dogs for people with epilepsy, we are the only organisation in the UK that trains dogs to do this specialist work.
From keeping children calm and safe, to alerting their owners prior to an oncoming epileptic seizure, from raising the alarm in emergencies to helping open doors and helping to get dressed in the morning, our support dogs transform the lives of their families.

Today we had a fun task for a new charity. Support Dogs help supply for people with disabilities including autism and epilepsy, and they've recently moved their national centre to Hillsborough in Sheffield.
Today we helped them out with setting up a fundraising second hand sale. We helped unload the car, lay out clothes, shoes, toys and bric-a-brac, picking out highlights to display. After eyeing up a few items during set up, we browsed further as the crowds started to arrive and picked up some great bargains!
We hope the charity managed to get rid of most of the stuff and raise lots of money. We chatted to Tess about future potential tasks working on their garden and it's always great to foster new contacts!
Purchases in hand, we headed for lunch in Hillsborough park and logged the nearby lion sculptures that are part of the "Pride of Yorkshire".
