What We Do
Our mission is to help people learn, grow and heal through the benefits of the human animal bond. We achieve this by positive, inspiring, educative or therapeutic interactions with our amazing and eclectic mix of companion animals.
Animals in Mind delivers Animal Assisted Activities, including Animal Assisted Therapy/Interventions, and Animal Assisted Education.
Animal Assisted Therapy is provided to individuals and or organisations and education providers. We specialise in working with neuro-diverse individuals and those with additional needs.
Animal Education Workshops are provided to Schools, Clubs, Charities, Home Schooling (including EOTAS funded alternative provision). We also work in residential Care Home for Children, Individuals with Disabilities and Older People.
Our educational and therapy based sessions with our amazing co-therapist animals are life-enhancing and places high regard for the welfare of our animals.
