POLICE DOG HANDLER 

We are in for a real treat to start off our NEW YEAR-  we usually meet on a Wednesday but for this one its a TUESDAY - we have Colin joining us as a dog handler to show us how his four legged work colleagues help us ALL STAY SAFE 

A police dog handler partners with a specially trained dog to support law enforcement, involving tasks like tracking suspects, finding missing persons, detecting drugs/explosives, and controlling crowds, requiring intense training, high fitness, and a deep bond with the canine partner for public safety and crime prevention. Colin has been in the Police force for 32 years, but has spent twenty years as a dog handler, he has lost count of how many dogs he has worked with. He has worked with six dogs from their birth to the end of their careers with the force. Strong bonds are made and its hard to say goodbye to your work colleagues, but they do deserve their retirement too.

Colin works out of Central London but is a UK resource officer, so can be placed anywhere required, his only request is "if the biscuits are nice enough" Colin absolutely loves his job and admits he would do it for free, but has asked us not to tell my Commissioner ????

For anyone with concerns about dogs or has an allergy to dogs this is not the event for you, the dogs will be involved in the event.

The benefits of planning ahead 

Culturally we are not great at agreeing, that we will "not" live forever…

The Dorset Cancer Care Foundation Choir was set up in 2024 by a group of friends who loved to sing together. It has gone from strength to strength with over 40 members, whose focus is to raise money for people in Dorset who are having financial issues due to a cancer diagnosis. Maria and Tina have sung together for over 5 years in various choirs, and have found the choir not only a very social group of people but a vital part of the week. Many members lead challenging lives and the weekly session gives them a lift and helps to get them through the week all whilst raising money for a good cause.

The biology of singing and the health benefits it provides are well proven. Maria will share some insights on this and then get the group singing to feel the benefits.
The focus is not on ability but to have some fun!

PLEASE NOTE:  THIS EVENT STARTS AT 3.00PM AT THE COACH & HORSES WIMBORNE
