  1. About us

About us

Through our animal therapy focused work, we support and work alongside individuals and groups to improve mental health, combat loneliness, challenge behavioural issues and promote psychological well being. Our projects focus on working with local people and incorporate social integration and skills development for children, young people and adults through emotional and social wellbeing sessions.

VISION AND MISSION

VISION: To Motivate, Inspire and Empower people to look after their own mental health by engaging in animal related health therapies

MISSION: To promote psychological well-being and combat a lack of connection for all people, through the use of animal related therapies.

VALUES

PASSIONATE: We are passionate about the work we do for our community, the people we do it for and the animals we do it with.

HONOURABLE: We are committed to the highest standards of personal honesty and behaviour, never compromising our reputation and always acting in the best interests of the community we serve and the animals we take care of.

INCLUSIVE: We all work together positively, collectively focused on achieving our objectives and missions in serving our community.

MOTIVATED: We are determined to fully develop the potential of Animal Assisted Therapy/Interventions as part of ‘HugglePets in the Community’ overall ambition for people, constantly developing new and creative ways to deliver our Vision and Mission.
