A set of activity books Inspired Print Solutions (IPS) printed for Dogs4Wildlife had an unexpected additional use of helping check the prescriptions of glasses distributed in South Africa by the charity.
IPS is proud to support Dogs4Wildlife, a conservation charity working across Africa, by providing printing services for its important work. Dogs4Wildlife use elite scent-tracking and detection dogs, advanced ranger training, and community-led initiatives to protect wildlife and support the people who live alongside it. IPS stepped in to help bring key projects to life in print: a set of activity books for their Walk4Wildlife campaign, a welfare booklet for their ranger and handler teams, and most recently, an advanced human scent tracking and tactical K9 operations programme.
The Brief
This year (2026), nine-year-old Paige from Lincoln is leading Walk4Wildlife – Year of the Pangolin, an initiative encouraging children and young people to take on fun, active challenges to raise awareness for endangered species. As part of the campaign, Paige created a children's activity book focused on pangolins, wildlife conservation, and the work Dogs4Wildlife carries out.
Dogs4Wildlife needed a printing partner for the initial printing of the books, a run of around 50 copies, with hopes of some reaching schools in Africa too. As a small charity, they wrote to IPS directly to ask for help.
The Solution
IPS was happy to help and donated the printing of the Walk4Wildlife activity books. The 16-page stitched A4 activity books with four card inserts helped Paige's campaign and supported the charity's wider community education work.
The IPS team worked directly with Dogs4Wildlife to produce the activity books. As Lisa described in a Google review: "IPS took the time to understand exactly what we needed and delivered something truly incredible. The professionalism, speed, and dedication made the whole process effortless."
The Results
In June 2026, the Dogs4Wildlife team took the activity books to Velakukhamya Primary School, in South Africa. In the charity's words: "The children were absolutely over the moon with these books."
The books found an unexpected bonus use too! At a nearby village community centre, where Dogs4Wildlife were distributing glasses to older residents, the residents used the books to help identify the right prescription lenses for their glasses, something the charity described as "practical and meaningful."
The printed activity books also became part of the charity's fundraising push, forming the centrepiece of a "pangolin bundle" which was the top level Walk4Wildlife fundraising milestone, and were shared across Dogs4Wildlife's Facebook and LinkedIn channels.
The Feedback
Dogs4Wildlife left glowing feedback:
"We cannot recommend Inspired Print Solutions highly enough! If you want outstanding service and exceptional results, Inspired Print Solutions are the ones to go to!" Lisa, Dogs4Wildlife
"An absolute delightful company to find, at Dogs4Wildlife we have a lot of printing requirements and have yet to find a good company, until now. The quality of their work and fast turnaround has been fantastic." Jacqui, Dogs4Wildlife
And on LinkedIn, Dogs4Wildlife thanked IPS for the printing of the welfare booklets: "Special thanks to Inspired Print Solutions for their generous donation of the printing of these incredible booklets."
To recognise the partnership, the IPS logo now appears on the books themselves as well as on Walk4Wildlife sign-up materials and certificates.
The partnership has since grown. IPS also donated the printing of Dogs4Wildlife's 40-page K9 Unit Welfare Booklet in June. The practical guide, issued to every ranger and handler working with Dogs4Wildlife conservation dog teams, was printed on 120gsm silk with a 250gsm matt laminated cover for durability. And in July, IPS is producing the Advanced Human Scent Tracking and Tactical K9 Operations Programme, a 134-page wirobound booklet printed on 120gsm uncoated paper with a 350gsm matt laminated cover.
