The Inkfire team is having a little break!

From 19th December to 5th January, we’ll be stepping away for a well-earned break over the holiday period. We’re away from our desks, but our commitment to accessibility is very much still online. Our bodies, however, are not!

If something urgent pops up during this break, drop us a line at support@inkfire.co.uk - we’ll do our best to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Got any last-minute tasks before the New Year? Now’s the perfect time to send them our way!

For accessibility and peace of mind:

• Our support inbox will still be checked for critical issues.
• Replies might take a little longer than usual - thanks for your patience!
• Non-urgent requests will be picked up when we’re back on 5th January.

Wishing you all a calm, joyful holiday season. See you in 2026! 🎉

We're so excited as a team to be supporting Canine Partners! 🐕 They provide incredible assistance dogs to disabled people throughout the UK, helping them to regain their independence.

Each puppy undertakes a specialist two-year training programme with Canine Partners, which begins from selection at around 8 weeks old. They spend 12 to 14 months in puppy training with a volunteer, followed by several months of advanced training at the National Training Centre.

All that training takes a huge amount of time and energy to achieve, so the team relies on charitable donations to keep doing their work.

Over the next few months, we're going to be taking part in some fundraising activities for Canine Partners - we're open to ideas, so if there's something you'd like to see our team try, let us know!

In the meantime, head over to Canine Partners to follow them and read more about their incredible work 👀

VD: A teal graphic, which reads 'We're proud to be supporting Canine Partners' with a brief description of what the charity does. There are various photographs of assistance dogs wearing purple jackets, and a photo of a wheelchair user, with her dog walking by her side. In the top right is the Canine Partners logo.
