Hooves For Healing received a £21,000 grant towards additional staff for training, care and delivery of equine sessions.

They provide a holistic service through equine-assisted learning that has improved the quality of life for many children, youth, and adults.

Not only are their clients being positively impacted, but so are staff and volunteers. Sandra, a volunteer, said, "As a full-time foster carer and also looking after my daughter at home, who has mental health problems and severe anxiety, I had been thinking about doing some kind of voluntary work for myself but didn't really know what that was.

I bucked up the courage to message Pam, the founder of HFH one evening and asked if she needed any volunteers and to my surprise and sheer delight she said yes. I started doing one day a week which led to three days. My home life was difficult and I suppose my own mental health was affected by it more than I realised.

As time went on, I started to feel much happier and able to cope with life in general. When I walk through that gate at HFH in the morning, I feel all my stress leaving me. I struggled with confidence and low self-esteem, but being at Hooves, I feel like I'm able to be me, and there is no judgment.

My confidence around people has improved so much, and the horses expect nothing from you, only to be loved and cared for, and I feel totally relaxed and happy around them.”

We love receiving these inspiring testimonies 🥰

Receiving the Pets Foundation grant made a vital difference to our service in 23/24 financial year , we took on new staff to enable us to meet the demand of our service . Trusted volunteers help us to run our service ,without them we would struggle .Thank you 🎉

So lovely to read this!

Yes it's the best place to be for mental health. Pam and friends are lovely friendly, caring people 💕 and the horses/Ponies are so therapeutic. I always loved my time helping. Great place to spend time. Xxx ❤️ ❤️

This is Sweet Ruby 🥰 Some may think black dogs are bad luck or are less friendly than lighter-coloured pups.

That misconception has historically meant that black dogs have taken longer to be adopted 😢

On #NationalBlackDogDay, we're busting that myth! Black dogs are just as lovable!

This is our rescue dog, Charlie. We had him for 11 years and he was the most wonderful addition to our family. He was as black as the night!!!

Yes, but they are sofa stealers 💕

Our friends at Goole and District RSPCA held a “Dog Action Day” thanks to a £4,000 grant we gave them last year towards neutering and welfare checks of owned dogs.

The day was well attended by 66 dogs with their owners; and here’s the impact:

🐾 58 had health checks
🐾 37 were neutered
🐾 46 were treated for fleas and worms
🐾 19 had chip details updated
🐾 2 were chipped for the first time
🐾 1 dog had further help with a severe skin allergy.

The Dog Day was well received by the local residents, and it shows that even smaller grants can make a difference for pets and the people who love them 💚
