UK Service Dog Conference and Awards 2026

UK Service Dog Conference and Medal Of Honour Awards
1st October 2026 Avisford Park Hotel Arundel

UK Service Dog Conference 10am - 5pm
UK Service Dog Awards 6pm - 10pm

 SDUK and NFRSA are jointly hosting this special day and evening as they aim to represent the full journey of service — supporting Veterans whose lives are transformed by assistance dogs, while safeguarding the welfare of animals who have dedicated their lives to serving others. 

Step into a day dedicated to the extraordinary impact dogs have on our lives. At the UK Service Dog Conference, inspiring speakers will share powerful insights into how canine partnerships transform human wellbeing — from physical support to mental health, recovery, and organisational resilience. 
Enjoy a vibrant atmosphere with opportunities to connect over lunch and refreshments.

As evening falls, the celebration begins. Our prestigious UK Service Dog Awards invites you to a Gala dinner honouring remarkable nominees, each receiving their Medal of Honour.
Experience moving stories, unforgettable moments, and an uplifting address from our special guest speaker.

Choose the daytime conference, the evening awards, or immerse yourself in the full experience with an all day ticket.
