Dogs for Young Diggers

Dogs for Diggers

Our VCAL students are raising money for a foundation called "Dogs for Young Diggers".  

The Young Diggers Dog Squad trains dogs to become Companion and Assistance Dogs to support our serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force members who are dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD).  This program helps more than just the individuals.

The Dog Squad helps Defence families to better cope with the effects of PTSD and saves the lives of many rescued dogs.

Throughout this program, Young Diggers provides members with help and practical support to enhance the quality of life for both the dog and the individual. 

On Friday 25th August, our VCAL students  held an out of uniform day and their first ever Food Stall Event.  Our students, prepared, cooked and ran the event with support from our teachers.  It was a big success and thanks to the spirit of the day, a whopping $1,830 was raised to help support the Dog Squad.

If you would like to donate to this great cause, a donation can be made at our General Office or by phoning  9743 9211
