De Boer supports Dogs for the DisabledBrackley-based De Boer has donated a temporary structure to local charity Dogs for the Disabled for its 21st birthday celebrations. An Alu Hall measuring 12 by 15 metres is being used for a variety of events taking place including an information day, workshops and fundraising evenings. The week-long festivities take place from July 25 to August 1. The charity, based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, trains dogs to carry out a range of practical tasks to assist disabled children and adults in achieving greater independence. It also provides a programme to support families with autistic children. Allie Hogsbjerg, Communications Officer for Dogs for the Disabled, said: “We are very grateful that De Boer has chosen to support Dogs for the Disabled in this our 21st birthday year. To celebrate this milestone in the charity’s history, a special week of events and celebrations has been planned. “Thanks to the loan of a temporary structure by De Boer, the charity will be holding a range of meetings and workshops for existing and potential clients and a number of fundraising events. We hope that the week will give us the opportunity to develop our relationship with our supporters, as we strive to continue to provide a vital range of services for adults and children with a disability.” James Watts, De Boer Sales Manager, said: “Dogs for the Disabled is a fantastic local charity and we are delighted to support it. The charity does amazing work for the community and this is our way of giving something back.” 29 July 2009 About De Boer:De Boer is one of the leading international suppliers of temporary accommodation for large events and festivals, storage purposes, airport baggage handling and supermarkets.
