The Unique Kidz and Co challenge is to cover 50 miles during March with your pooch and fetch at least £50 in sponsorship.

Last year’s campaign was a barking success, with over 30 dogs strutting their stuff and raising a whopping £2,235!

To celebrate this amazing achievement, the furry friends had a tail-wagging group walk along the promenade before the month ended.

But this year, the Morecambe-based charity is aiming higher, with even more paws joining the parade.

Co-Founders and trustees Jane and Denise said: “This Year Unique Kidz and Co will celebrate its 15th birthday and this seems extra special as we head into our most exciting chapter yet.

"After a lot of hard work, we now have our final plan in place making us one step closer to reaching our dream of expanding our centre and developing our land.
