Would you walk over hot coals for Dogs for Good?

At Dogs for Good, we're turning up the heat and asking people and businesses local to Banbury to enter our 'Firewalk Challenge’ event to help raise money to support our vital work. 

The event, held at our Banbury Training Centre, takes place on October 10th at 5.30pm. The 10th October is also World Mental Health Day which means the event will be doubly impactful for participants.  

Before the event kicks off, participants will be treated to a fascinating deep-dive demo from one of our clever dogs and equally clever trainers! Fresh with motivational thoughts and waggy tails, everyone will then take part in a pre-event training and coaching session which will extinguish any fears. 

Fire walking has been practised for several thousand years by many people and cultures in different parts of the world. Not only a physical challenge, fire walking is also a powerful mental exercise in overcoming doubts and pushing past limits.  

Tina Williams, Community Fundraiser at Dogs for Good says: "I’ve actually done a Firewalk myself and it’s quite something! You get a huge sense of achievement once you’ve done it and come away realising that actually, you can overcome your fears to do really challenging things. It’s also a really lovely thing to do with work colleagues and delivers a wholly unique form of camaraderie!"

This event has now passed - a huge congratulations and thank you to everyone who took part!
