President's Appeal

In 2001, NDMC President Derek Drayton nominated Canine Partners for Independence as his chosen charity and, after a year of fundraising activities, a total of £1744.75 was presented to the CPI at the club's annual Dinner and Awards ceremony of February 9th.

Canine Partners for Independence enables disabled people to enjoy greater independence and a better quality of life through the help of specially trained dogs.
A CPI dog can, amongst other things, open and shut doors, switch lights on and off, call a lift or press a pedestrian crossing button, draw the curtains, empty the washing machine, pick up items and even use a cash dispensing machine!
