Each year the team votes for the charities we will support. In 2026 we are raising for Dogs for Good and PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide.
Each year at Lanes Vets, we come together as a practice to support two charities close to the hearts of our team and our clients. This year, we are proud to be raising funds for Dogs for Good and PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide, two incredible organisations making a real difference both locally and around the world.
Over the years, we have had so much fun fundraising together, from bake sales and book sales to walking an Almost Marathon and the Guild Wheel, hosting Bingo nights, and even organising a dog show. Thanks to the amazing generosity of our clients, we have already exceeded our £1,000 per charity target this year, something we are incredibly proud of.

Dogs for Good (formerly Dogs for the Disabled) is a UK charity transforming lives through expertly trained dogs. For over 30 years, it has created life-changing partnerships that support people with physical disabilities, autism and dementia to live more independently. With more than 300 trained dogs working nationwide, Dogs for Good provides Assistance Dogs that offer practical help (such as retrieving items and opening doors) alongside emotional reassurance and confidence-building support.
PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is the UK's national charity dedicated to preventing suicide in young people under 35. Founded in 1997 by bereaved parents, the organisation works to reduce youth suicide by challenging stigma, providing direct support, and equipping communities with the skills to help save young lives. Now operating across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, PAPYRUS delivers its confidential helpline, HOPELINE247, available 24/7 via call, text and email.
