Walkie Dogs

Walkie Dogs is a social Dog Walking club that promotes both physical and mental health, working closely with mental health organisations across the UK. We aim to better the communities people live in making it a safe, welcoming and friendly experience. By including a percentage of volunteers between the ages of 16-21, our goal is to help reduce knife and gang crime across the UK.
