There is much research to prove the beneficial effects of interacting and petting an animal. It has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce stress and for some people who find it difficult or are are unable to communicate with other people and society in a conventional way (e.g.Dementia, Autism) it is an opportunity to connect and form a bond which is rewarding and meaningful.

 

We are looking forward to working with these groups by visiting care homes and hospices , hosting visits from children and adults with learning disabilities, people on the autistic spectrum, people with dementia, excluded children and many other special needs groups who get a lot out of meeting these gentle and calming animals. We welcome enquiries from these groups.
