About Orkney Drugs Dog
Orkney Drugs Dog is a registered charity operated by a Board of Trustees, managing two paid staff and one or more dogs. The Board are all volunteers who give their time freely in order to highlight the impact of and the level of drug misuse and abuse together with the disruption this can cause to family life in the county. The staff carry out the daily operations of the charity on behalf of the Trustees.
Along with assistance and support from many individuals, local business, partner agencies and adult and youth groups, we fundraise on a regular basis in order to secure long-term provision of a trained and locally based Dog and Handler in Orkney.
