Welcome along everyone! Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page to help support the caring and selfless Ann in her goal to raise money for this wonderful charity!

To provide you with some entertainment and to encourage you to support her she'll be taking on the brave task of shaving her head! and in the throes of winter too!

Thank you for whatever you are able to donate and for taking the time to help us reach our goal! :)

There's some information about the charity below so you can see what great things they do for people in need:

Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity founded in 1983. There are approximately 6000 active PAT visiting volunteer teams across the UK who would normally be visiting people in need of companion animal therapy. 

People who due to their circumstances cannot have access to a pet of their own. Can you imagine what it would be like to no longer receive the comfort and joy that your own pet brings you? Every week PAT visiting teams help thousands of people in hospitals, care homes, hospices, prisons and schools, but since Coronavirus struck all PAT activities have been halted.

When volunteers visit hospitals, it is not only the patients that receive this stress relief and escapism, it's also the front line staff; people who may have been witness to the most tragic and upsetting outcomes on a daily basis as "part of their job" Care home residents who cannot keep a pet of their own but previously always had animals would normally be able to receive a visit from their PAT volunteer team
