We all know what a dog can bring to a family – companionship, affection, and that happy face waiting for you when you get home. But for some families, a dog can do so much more. Assistance dogs are specially trained to support people who are blind or visually impaired, as well as autistic and neurodivergent children. And for an autistic or neurodivergent child who feels overwhelmed or anxious, an assistance dog can offer comfort and help them feel safer and more settled. Carl & Cassidy recently spoke to the Dis-Chem Foundation about their life-changing partnership with the South African Guide-Dogs Association to find out what goes into training these incredible dogs, the children they’re matched with, and the difference they can make to an entire family.

Every parent wants to see their child happy, confident and just being a kid. But for children living with facial conditions or severe burns, getting there can mean needing access to specialised medical care that many families simply can't afford. That's where the Smile Foundation comes in. For more than 25 years, they've been helping children get the treatment and reconstructive surgery they need – giving them the chance to feel confident and get on with being kids Carl Wastie chats to the Dis-Chem Foundation and the Smile Foundation about the difference they're making together, and how something as simple as a R20 Socks for Smiles sticker or badge can help bring a child closer to life-changing treatment.
