We spoke to Sarah about this in Birmingham when Ghost was playing there and we asked what charity she’d like us to raise money for this year and she said Canine Partners, you might remember that Sarah visited Canine Partners as part of the Pride of Britain tour in 2014.

Sarah said about her visit

I couldn’t believe it when they showed me a dog who can open a washing machine, put the washing in and close the door.

The work these volunteers do is incredibly selfless and they are just the kind of people who should be recognised by Pride of Britain – they’ll be getting my nomination.

Here’s a video of Sarah visiting Canine Partners, credit to the Mirror for the video.

Canine Partners is an amazing charity, so come on guys get donating and lets see if we can beat last years total.

WHAT CANINE PARTNERS DO

Canine Partners is a registered charity that transforms the lives of people with physical disabilities by partnering them with assistance dogs. Our amazing dogs bring a greater independence and quality of life to their partners, offering security, companionship, and practical help with everyday household tasks. These life-changing dogs also provide psychological and social benefits including increased independence, confidence, social interaction and self-esteem.

We receive no government funding and rely solely on donations from the public and legacies to help us continue our life-transforming work.

Our assistance dogs are trained to meet the needs of individuals with even the most complex physical disabilities. We currently help adults aged 18 and over (both civilians and former service personnel) who have a physical disability or condition that affects their daily life and limits their independence.

Some of the disabilities and conditions we work with are:

  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Spinal injuries and head injuries
  • Stroke
  • Osteoarthritis and scoliosis
  • Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
  • Friedrich’s ataxia
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Spina bifida
  • Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones)

We are working in partnership with Help for Heroes, The Royal British Legion and other services organisations to provide assistance dogs for veterans and those wounded in service

The Girls Aloud star joined our tour as we visited hundreds of volunteers at Canine Partners in Birmingham, who provide support dogs for disabled people.

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding hopped aboard our Pride of Britain coach to nominate some incredible volunteers for an award.

The singer joined our tour as we visited Canine Partners in Birmingham, who provide support dogs for disabled people.

Sarah, 32, saw how hundreds of volunteers trained canines, at a cost of £20,000 each, at centres across the country.

She said: “I couldn’t believe it when they showed me a dog who can open a washing machine, put the washing in and close the door.

“The work these volunteers do is incredibly selfless and they are just the kind of people who should be recognised by Pride of Britain – they’ll be getting my nomination.”

The charity, backed by National Express’ Military Promise, also provides dogs to injured soldiers.

The coach firm’s boss Tom Stables said: “No one gives more to our country than the Armed Forces and National Express is honoured to support the UK’s military.
“We offer a wide-ranging package of benefits including discounts, guaranteed interviews for driving jobs and extra leave for staff in the Army Reserve.”

Michael Swain, 24, of Luton, who lost both legs in an Afghan bomb blast, has raised £250,000 for charity.

He nominated Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which has specialist teams treating injured service personnel.

He said: “I am nominating collectively the Military Ward at the hospital because they went above and beyond their duty with me and continue to do so.”

Our coach is giving people across Britain the chance to nominate their unsung heroes.

The winners will be honoured at an autumn ceremony.

Today we are in Huddersfield with Peter Andre and then Manchester with the cast of Coronation Street.
How to nominate: Online at prideofbritain.com , email nominate@prideofbritain.com – or you can pick up a nomination form from your local Lidl supermarket.
