Our Financial Transparency
At Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC, transparency and fairness are central to our operations. As a Community Interest Company (CIC), we exist to benefit the community, not to generate private profit.
We believe that people accessing services — especially disabled people seeking assistance dog support — deserve to know exactly where their money goes.
How service fees are distributed
When services such as dog training, assessments, or workshops are delivered by Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC, the trainer is usually a self-employed professional working in partnership with us.
From each service fee:
- 95% goes directly to the trainer delivering the service
- 5% goes to Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC
This model ensures that the people doing the work are fairly paid for their time, knowledge, and experience.
What the organisational contribution supports
The 5% contribution supports the basic costs required to run a responsible community organisation, including:
- Insurance and safeguarding requirements
- Website hosting and digital systems
- Accessibility improvements and inclusive resources
- Community events and outreach projects
- Development of educational materials and training resources
We intentionally keep this percentage low so that most of the income goes to the professionals delivering the work.
Supporting access to assistance dog training
After essential running costs are covered, any remaining funds are placed into a community support fund.
This fund subsidises assistance dog training and supports disabled people who would otherwise be unable to afford access to these services.
Assistance dog training can be expensive, and we believe that financial barriers should not prevent disabled people from accessing life-changing support.
Our commitment to ethical practice
- Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC does not distribute profits to individuals.
- Any surplus income is reinvested into community benefit activities.
- We aim to operate with clear, open communication about how funds are used.
We believe transparency builds trust, and trust is essential when working with disabled people, dogs, and the wider community.
Our goal is simple:
to create a fair, ethical, and accessible model for assistance dog support in Leeds and beyond.
