Find security in furry love

At eight years old, Oliver couldn’t cope at school. Trauma made the classroom feel unsafe. His outbursts escalated. His school attendance dropped to just hours a week.

Then Marlowe, a Paw Pal therapy dog stepped in.

With Marlowe by his side, Oliver found calm, trust, and the confidence to learn.

Today, he’s back at school full time.

Your gift makes stories like Oliver’s possible.

The difference you make to children struggling at school

You’re helping to lower stress levels

A Paw Pal like Marlowe helps students who have gone through trauma to feel safe, improving their ability to learn.

You’re helping kids identify and manage big emotions

Through simple activities like rolling a die with their Paw Pal, students learn to explore feelings, practising to recognise emotions in themselves and in their therapy dog.

You’re helping to develop kids’ social skills

A Paw Pal helps to nurture skills like patience, trust, teamwork, and cooperation, boosting confidence in social situations.

Paw Pals could make the absolute difference between a child attending and not attending school.
