I'm raising £1,000 for a community project

🐾 Help Us Bring Comfort, Connection & Community Through Dogs

We are Pause with Paws CIC - a community interest company dedicated to improving wellbeing through the gentle, therapeutic presence of dogs.

Our visits support:

• Care home residents

• Adults with additional needs

• Disabled and chronically ill individuals

• People experiencing loneliness

• Those navigating grief and bereavement

We create safe, inclusive spaces where people can pause, connect, smile and simply be.

We are raising £1,000 to help us:

• Cover insurance and safety costs

• Fund travel to care homes and community centres

• Purchase enrichment and wellbeing resources

• Provide accessible sessions for those who cannot afford to pay

• Expand our reach to more vulnerable members of the community

As a CIC, every penny is reinvested back into the community.

🐶 The Impact of Your Donation

£5 – Helps provide enrichment resources for one session

£10 – Supports travel to a care home visit

£25 – Helps us run an accessible “pay what you can” community event

£50 – Sponsors a full wellbeing session for vulnerable adults

£100 – Helps us expand into a new community setting

Small donations genuinely make a big difference.

🌿 Why It Matters

We have already seen:

✨ Faces light up when the dogs enter the room

✨ Residents recalling cherished memories of beloved pets

✨ Non-verbal service users engaging through touch and connection

✨ Isolated individuals finding community

For some people, this may be the only meaningful interaction they have that week.

If you believe in inclusive, accessible wellbeing support…

If you believe no one should feel alone…

If you believe in the healing power of animals…

Please consider donating or sharing our page.

Together, we can bring more paws, more smiles, and more moments of comfort into our community.
