Our newest therapy puppy, Zac, is out on his first day of assignments today, and we couldnโ€™t be prouder! ๐Ÿ’™

This morning, Zac started his day by visiting Frome College, where he met some wonderful students and brought smiles all around. Next, heโ€™s off to a local care home, spending time with the residents and spreading joy as part of his training.

Later this afternoon, Zac will continue his special work by visiting a member of the community whoโ€™s been having a tough time recently and could use a little furry pick-me-up. ๐Ÿถโœจ

Zacโ€™s learning so much on his way to becoming a full-fledged therapy dog, and itโ€™s amazing to see him already making a difference in the lives of so many.

2025 is a new year for our charity. We will be five years old. Somethings have changed but much remains the same

We will be celebrating our fifth birthday with a party in January.

Our therapy dog team will be sporting new metal discs

Our growing number of volunteers will be doing more visits.

BUT our trustees have been in post for five years and need to step aside for fresh ideas. So we are recruiting volunteers to help us move the charity forward. Itโ€™s an exciting time to join us in any capacity. Drop us a line for further details.

Any interested trustee applications will receive support from January till April before the old team steps back. We are not leaving but planning to focus on the day to day delivery of the great work.
