Midhurst-based charity Canine Partners will be holding a carol service on Tuesday, December 11, raising money to train dogs which transform the lives of people living with disabilities.

The dogs are taught a range of everyday tasks including picking up and retrieving items, opening doors and undressing a person. They can even help to load and unload a washing machine and can fetch help in an emergency.
