OUR NOMINATED CHARITIES
DOGS TRUST, KENILWORTH
Dog’s Trust UK is the UK’s leading dog welfare charity who aim to rehome and rehabilitate dogs in need.
In June 2022, our Lead Recruitment Associate Katie Doolan began to volunteer with Dogs Trust on Wednesday mornings as a Canine Assistant.
Volunteer Canine Assistants greatly contribute to canine residents’ wellbeing. They help keep dogs happy and healthy with regular exercise and enrichment, as well as helping to ensure that all canine facilities are in tip-top condition.
They work with centre staff to keep kennels clean and tidy, providing exercise, socialisation and enrichment to four-legged residents
They undertake a range of kennel-related tasks such as food prep, poop scooping and laundry, as well.
HOPE COVENTRY - GOOD NEIGHBOURS
Good Neighbours was developed to tackle loneliness in older generations. It connects isolated older people to befrienders, building positive and often lifelong friendships across the city of Coventry.
Talentwise Solutions’ Owner/Director Tracey and her therapy dog, Poppy, volunteer with nominated charity Hope Coventry every Wednesday afternoon, visiting local people who have limited social contact in their homes.
Through the Good Neighbours scheme, Tracey has met many interesting people and has established strong friendships with these individuals.
PETS AS THERAPY
We are so proud of our office dog, Poppy, who is a certified Pets as Therapy dog.
Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK. They strive to ensure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal.
PAT volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets visit establishments such as care homes, hospitals, hospices, schools and prisons, and bring smiles to many faces. People of all ages get the chance to chat to someone — and stroke and cuddle a friendly dog or cat.
