Dogs for Health is a new charity that currently covers Frome, Shepton Mallet, Coleford, Westbury and Warminster.
Volunteers along with their dogs visit people in their own homes, hospitals, care homes and schools.
Our dogs love listening to children read, help encourage reluctant school goers into the classroom and having fun in assembly.
Visiting people in their own homes helps to reduce isolation and anxiety.
Hospital visits cheer up a patients day, gives them something to look forward too.
Our dogs and their volunteers work alongside professionals to help with reducing social isolation, anxiety and improving mental health.
