Charity

Hello all, As I am sure you are aware, myself and the rest of the volunteer staff that put Furcation together are passionate about supporting animals as well as the mental health. In the past the staff have nominated and chosen charities that fit this bill and through the generosity of our attendees (or viewers in the case of 2020 and 2021) we have so far raised almost £16,000 for these causes.

For 2022 we are partnering up with another fantastic cause, one that embodies both care for animals and support for people with mental health conditions. A charity that after contacting a number of times I can confirm they exude care and passion for what they do. I am therefore delighted to announce Furcation 2022's Charity of the Year is:

Recovery Assistance Dogs.

I am excited to share the plans we have in place for this year's Furcation and look forwards to working with our amazing attendees and this wonderful charity to show them how amazing and generous furries can be.

Sincere thanks,

Janner Dogwai

Charity Liaison.

"Assistance & Companion dogs allow their owners to enjoy a greater independence and quality of life, and we strive to keep growing so that we can help more people across the UK.

"Stigma surrounding mental health is common, with attitudes towards illnesses tending to be more negative than that toward medical conditions. At RAD, our mission is to advance the awareness and education on the subject of mental health conditions"
