My Story

I am doing something pawsome this May. I am taking part in a 100km walking challenge to raise vital funds for Pets As Therapy (PAT for short). 

PAT Volunteers, along with their dogs and cats, visit hospitals, care homes and schools across the UK every day. They provide comfort and companionship to people of all ages, and can mend hearts, lift spirits and bring hope and spread a little animal magic. 

Every donation I receive will help the charity to recruit more pet owners as volunteers, who can then share the love of their dog or cat with others.

PAT has a long waiting list of places requesting a visit, so give what you can and together we will make sure amazing pets provide therapy for those who need it most. 

Please support me by donating to Pets As Therapy, a charity I feel passionate about.

Thank you.
