Driving positive change for Charity: Dogs for Autism

Dogs for Autism provide trained assistance dogs to support autistic individuals and their families. With the right training and the right match, these dogs bring reassurance, confidence, and stability to everyday life. Having partnered with the charity since 2024, our staff across our offices have taken part in fun activities to raise funds for our sponsored pup, Finn! From Tough Mudder runs, local charity pub quizzes, to gruelling Three Peaks challenges, we’ve got stuck in to help support the care, training and essentials needed to raise Finn to be an invaluable support aid for someone living with autism.

Meet Finn & Mel: Turning fundraising into real impact

Meet Finn our first sponsored pup! From his very first days as a playful pup, Finn embarked on a training journey with Dogs for Autism, mastering basic obedience, social skills, and vital assistance tasks designed to support individuals with autism. Thanks to the Infinigate community, Finn was able to complete his training and at the end of 2025, and been matched to a forever home where he has become a companion to not just his new family, but to the whole Infinigate team.

Finn’s presence has brought comfort and confidence to it’s new owner, helping to transform daily life for the whole family. It’s a shining example of how every donation truly makes a difference, turning hopes into reality for autistic people and their loved ones.

We’ve also sponsored a new pup named Mel, named in memory of our beloved colleague, Mel Gaskin. Mel is settling in brilliantly and making great progress in her training, showing all the signs of becoming a fantastic support dog!

Across our UK offices, our people have contributed in ways that suit them best, from taking on physical challenges to organising social events or providing behind-the-scenes support.  With activities such as tough muddlers, half marathons, pub quizzes, tuck shops, Christmas raffles, festive jumper day, and even bring your dog to work days, every effort has played a part in raising both funds and awareness.

Initiatives such as a sponsored vendor charity bike ride, along with key events like our flagship partner event, CyberVerse, have helped us engage more people along the way and keep the conversation around autism awareness going.

But these activities are about more than hitting fundraising! They have helped spark meaningful conversations about autism, encouraged people to learn more, and kept the mission of the charity we support visible across the business.

With Mel’s journey now underway, we are continuing to build momentum, with more activities, more awareness, and more opportunities for people to get involved and make a difference.
