Detailing the work of the worthy cause, a spokesperson for the charity said: “Currently Assistance Dogs Northern Ireland (ADNI) have 51 dogs/puppies working throughout Northern Ireland and we have a further eight dogs to place.

“The majority of our dogs are working within family homes. However we have therapy dogs working in a prison, hospice, court and school settings.

“Our current project is for children with autism and full-time wheelchair users up to the age of 12.#

“We will be conducting collections at the main entrance door at the Abbey Centre. Please pop down and show your support.”
