Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity founded in 1983. There are approximately 5500 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.
Every week PAT visiting teams help thousands of people in hospitals, care homes, hospices, prisons and schools.
Pets As Therapy are determined to weather these uncertain times and hope that you can support us to achieve our goal of raising £2500 this festive season. You can donate to us by purchasing one or more of the objects for the tree and make sure you share a message for others to see.
This is also a lovely opportunity to remember any dearly departed pets that you may have lost this year, perhaps you would like to switch on a light in their memory

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.
