Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity founded in 1983. There are approximately 6000 active PAT visiting volunteer teams across the UK who would normally be visiting people in need of companion animal therapy. People who due to their circumstances cannot have access to a pet of their own. Can you imagine what it would be like to no longer receive the comfort and joy that your own pet brings you? Every week PAT visiting teams help thousands of people in hospitals, care homes, hospices, prisons and schools, but since Coronavirus struck all PAT activities have been halted. Pets As Therapy are determined to weather this storm and the only way is to keep the charity running and to respond to the limitations inflicted on us by lockdown in new and innovative ways... PAT National Volunteer & Events Manager Matthew Robinson says: "We are asking you to please consider donating as much as you can afford to help secure the future of Pets As Therapy" Thank you!
