We are so proud of Bandit. He was so calm and gentle and there were lots of smiles when they go to stroke him, which is all they wanted to do by the way. The children are given journals for the sessions and on one of the pages was a question about Bandit. For the question 'What do you like about Bandit?' One little lad said simply 'I love him'

We’re so proud of the way he’s took to this work. He’s a real natural.

Well I'm sure by now everyone knows we've had a pretty rubbish year. Losing Cookie and now the 'houseonwheelsinwales'. We're not alone though and we know many folk have been though similar and worse.
In our work we see lots of instances of children and young people going through awful times and I have to say it does make your problems pale into insignificance. Tomorrow we are back in the midlands visiting children as part of a programme run by Fireworks. One of the groups have suffered bereavement, which is particularly tough when they are so young, but one thing I know is that tomorrow they will have smiling faces when they get to see Bandit again. Through your generosity we will taking presents of books down for all of them.
Katy and her team at Fireworks do amazing work with children and young people in their community and we're really happy to support them when we can.
In the new year we aim to get our own projects running more regularly to replicate this great work into other areas.
Thank you to everyone who supports us be that financially or by commenting on and sharing our posts. We really can't do anything without you.

Finding different ways to raise funds for the Monty Project is quite difficult, but without your support we couldn't do what we do, which is helping to support children. More information can be found about our work, on the Monty Project website. Please click the link and take a look. After Christmas we are thinking about running an Auction 😁 to do this we are going to need items to Auction. I already have a few things myself I can pop in and Sharon Robson kindly sent us some new/nearly new dog leads etc that we can put in, so we have a bit of a start already, but we are going to need more. We are looking for new or nearly new items for the Auction, can you HELP? After Christmas is the perfect time to have a sort out, plus you may have received gifts that are unsuitable or you are unable to use, and what better way to repay the kindness than to re-gift the item to help raise funds for The Monty Project

We are The Monty Project a children's charity supporting mental health and education through our school visits with our dogs and books.

Another school visit tomorrow but you know what they say...All work and no play makes Bandito a dull pup.
And you know dull I ain't so Bonnie came round for a walk, and we played a little.

A day in the life of Bandito. Today he has a school visit near Wolverhampton.
Up and out for a short walk and toilet at 5.45 back at 6.00am
A short rest before breakfast at 6.15
Now lots of rest before leaving at 8.00am for the 2 hour journey to the school leaving plenty of time for motorway hold ups, which are regular. Arrive at the school hopefully for 10.am and then a nice walk in a place we've already scoped out.
Luckily today the school is right on the edge of Cannock chase which is beautiful and will give him lots of chances to meet new friends.
Back to the school for 10.45 to get booked in and of course say hello to everyone on the way through.
Into the hall for about 10.55
11.00 first of three short assemblies with Q and A and of course a chance to say hello to everyone again.
1.pm short walk and toilet break before back in the car and the journey home.
3.pm Back for dinner and sleep
5pm Last walk of the day and more sleep.

This is him right now obviously preparing for his busy day.

Such a wonderful thing for Katy to do and so lovely she thought of us. If you can support this we and the other charities would be so grateful. Thanks as always.

Our founder, Katy, is running 40k from the 24th November to the 24th December. She is fundraising not only for us, but 75% of what is raised will be shared between three other charities.
