Just popped downstairs to see what was happening at the hospice… and walked straight into an afternoon of pure joy! 💚
Families we support, and who so kindly support us, were busy enjoying an amazing Animals Interactive session.
From cuddly guinea pigs to impressive snakes, curious geckos to a gentle tortoise, wiggly ferrets and a cheeky skunk then finally, a handsome fox, there was something to delight everyone! 🐹🦊🦨🐍🦎🐢
The smiles, laughter and little moments of wonder said it all. 😍
A huge thank you to everyone who helps make these special experiences possible. It’s these moments that bring comfort, connection and joy to our families and our team. 💛🌿
