Animal Therapy Day
Well the end of May was another spectacular one for us as we had Animals for Parties return to our group with a selection of animals to see our members.
We always love a good snuggle with Bailey the Rabbit or watching Tula the Owl.
As always, we accept any members into our group, including members with any form of disability providing they have their carer with them and it was such a special day when one of our members, was the happiest she had ever been to see all the animals. I received permission to include her in this article as I really thought this was something that we really wanted to show people and how we are changing peoples lives and making them happier. I started by showing her Bailey the Rabbit and the smile that she came out with was so heart-warming. Her Personal Assistant even sat the rabbit on her knee, shown right, for her which was beautiful to see. We were showing her all the animals that were brought along to the group and we were gently lifting her hands so she could feel the animals too. I think it was safe to say she really enjoyed the Animal Therapy session.
We tend to do this once a year if we can because sometimes have some form of animal therapy can really calm your mind and chill you out and there was a few members who just sat quietly and peacefully with an animal for a while.
We want to say a big thank you to Jon from Animals for Parties for attending our group again. The session is always well enjoyed every time.
