Pets As Therapy
- VO102303
As a Pets As Therapy volunteer, you will be at the heart of what we do. Pets As Therapy Volunteers are dedicated pet owners who give up their spare time to help others. Along with their dog or cat, volunteers visit all types of establishments including residential care homes, hospitals, hospices and both special needs and mainstream schools. Our volunteers and their pets bring comfort and companionship to people living in residential care homes who may feel isolated, confused and lonely. We support schools to help young people improve their literacy skills and encourage confidence and concentration in the classroom.
We can offer a degree flexibility around hours/shifts.
For more information please have a look at the Pets As Therapy website: https://petsastherapy.org/
