Carol Court, founder of Isle of Wight charity Ability Dogs 4 Young People, is set to receive national recognition on the BBC One Show this Thursday (January 23).
This inspiring feature will showcase Carol’s tireless work to transform lives through the training and support of the charity’s specially trained ability dogs.
Viewers will see thrilling surprises for Carol, alongside touching moments that highlight the extraordinary impact of her work. The segment will shine a light on the charity’s unique ability dogs, their transformative training, and their life-changing partnerships with the ever-increasing number of Recipients.
Stephen Davis, Charity Trustee said:
“Carol dedicates her life to her charitable work. For once, we could put her in the spotlight and celebrate the incredible difference she makes for disabled people on the Isle of Wight.”
Through the One Show coverage, audiences will gain a deeper understanding of how an ability dog profoundly enhances a recipient's quality of life.
These remarkable dogs are more than companions — they provide essential practical assistance, increase independence, and offer emotional stability, enabling recipients to access greater opportunities and thrive in ways they never thought possible.
The Charity supports people with a range of disabilities, including autism, anxiety, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, and cerebral palsy.
Carol Court said:
"I was thrilled to learn that Ability Dogs 4 Young People would be featured on the BBC One Show.
"It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to showcase how our ability dogs change lives and to highlight the dedication of everyone who makes it possible.
I am touched to have received such a public ‘thank you’"
Since founding Ability Dogs 4 Young People in 2012, Carol has been driven by her passion for making a difference in the lives of disabled people.
Carol has used her expertise and in-depth knowledge to facilitate greater freedom and support for disabled people within the Isle of Wight community; something she plans to continue to do for years to come.
