Most Charities are funded mainly by the Government, but love to take all the credit, let all charities give credit where that happens

I have also discovered that the groups that train guide dogs don't get any Govt assistance either. It is entirely donation and sponsorship funded. The are fortunate that some very loyal companies supply food, beds and other products for their use.
They live with volunteers (puppy educators) for approx. 12 months before returning for the next stage of their training. Puppy educators walk the dogs every day - in Summer it has to be early morning before the footpath and road surfaces get hot( their feet burn otherwise) and also they can dehydrate much quicker without you realising. Some of the puppy educators actually take them to work with them if appropriate to get them used to different surroundings etc. They are not allowed to take them in a vehicle if it is going to be over 30 degrees centigrade.

ReachOut is the most accessed online mental health service for young people and their parents in Australia.
