Pets As Therapy Volunteer (Trustwide - locations may include Cambridge, Huntingdon, Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough)

Do you have a pet dog or cat with a great temperament and would like to share the wonderful benefits of its companionship with others in your community?

We have opportunities across all our wards; older peoples, childrens and young people, adults, recovery!

The value of pet ‘therapy’ is widely accepted as a powerful aid to stimulation and communication. Studies have shown that the presence of companion animals can improve the well-being of and lower the rate of anxiety, simply by making the environment happier, more enjoyable and less forbidding.
