Pets As Therapy Celebratory Christmas Tree 2026
The heart of everything we do is the bond between people and animals.
A PAT visit can’t fix everything, but it can change how a day feels. In a classroom, a calm dog can give a reluctant reader the confidence to read aloud without fear of getting it wrong. On a children’s ward, a friendly face with four paws can bring a smile, a welcome distraction from treatment, and a moment of normal life far from home. For busy hospital staff, a few minutes with a PAT dog can be a breath of calm during a long shift.
Your donation can help a PAT Team visit a school, where a child who struggles to settle or to speak up finds that the dog sitting quietly beside them is the best listener in the room. It could help bring a visit to a hospital, where a young patient forgets for a while why they are there. Wherever we go, PAT visits brighten people’s lives.
You can help decorate our Christmas tree today by switching on a fairy light, hanging a bauble or lighting a candle. Make a dedication to your own PAT pet, to a fellow volunteer, or in memory of someone you love or a faithful companion. If your school, hospital, hospice or care home welcomes a PAT Team, why not dedicate a gift to your visiting volunteer and their pet as a thank you for all they bring? Please add a photo and a message for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to reading them.
To our volunteers: we know you already give so much, with your time, your pets and your annual subscription. Thank you. Any gift you add to the tree this year will help us reach even more people.
Your gift this Christmas will help us spread more magical moments of festive cheer.

Pets are wonderful. They offer comfort, companionship and joy like nothing else—unconditionally, without judgment or expectations. Pets possess a unique ability to give us exactly what we need, even when we aren’t aware of it ourselves.
Imagine if we could bottle that magic and share it. That’s precisely what we do.
We connect our incredible nationwide community of pet owners and their temperament-assessed dogs and cats with schools, care homes, hospitals, and more, to boost moods, foster confidence, and brighten days.
By sharing everyday moments of magic—small joys without judgment—that not only lift someone’s spirits but can also shift their outlook more permanently, helping them feel happier and healthier, mentally and emotionally, long after the visit.
We are here to help more people experience the everyday moments of magic that pets bring.
