Our Special Friends

"For many of us, pets are much loved companions but for vulnerable or isolated people, they are an immensely important lifeline to help stem loneliness and depression. They provide friendship, security and continuity if the relationship is appropriate, mutually beneficial and well supported.

The people within the Our Special Friends community are the eyes and the ears for the hidden vulnerable, both human and animal and our role is to collaborate with other support agencies to change lives for the better."

"Our Mission:

To identify, develop, promote and deliver support services which secure the benefits of animal companionship for people at vulnerable times, improving welfare for both."
