Broomwood is delighted to announce that our Charity of the Year for 2025/26, selected by our Parents’ Association, will be Dogs for Autism — the UK’s only charity to provide assistance dogs free of charge to autistic people of any age.
To launch the partnership, we were thrilled to welcome Arthur, the charity’s ambassador dog, to assemblies across all three Broomwood sites. Arthur was a huge hit with the children, who were fascinated to learn how these highly trained dogs can transform lives: offering comfort and reassurance, helping with daily routines, and even fetching clothes in the morning!
Over the coming year, the Broomwood community looks forward to raising funds to support the invaluable work of Dogs for Autism. We are particularly excited to run a competition to name their next trainee puppy, which will give our pupils a direct connection to the charity’s mission.
We can’t wait to welcome the Dogs for Autism team (and their four-legged friends) back to Broomwood soon — and in the meantime, we’ll be planning a calendar of fundraising activities. Watch this space for more details, and please do get in touch if you have creative fundraising ideas to share.
