We are proud to learn that our fantastic 2020 Captains’ Charity, Medical Detection Dogs (MDD), has been quick off the mark in the fight against Coronavirus.

It was reported in both the Buckingham & Winslow Advertiser and Nation Press MDD is to enter into trials with Durham University and The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; those trials will aim to prove that the dogs can successfully detect COVID-19. This could prove to be a vital weapon in the country's armoury to reduce the spread of the virus after the current “lockdown”. It is hoped that the dogs will be able to screen people, even those without symptoms, for example at airports and other entry points to the country.

We are asking all members to visit our giving page to give what you can to help this extraordinary charity. It is clear from the MDDs website, they need financial support more than ever during these current crisis.
