Paws for Wellbeing
A Workplace Experience Your Team Will Love
Our Paws for Wellbeing sessions are a simple, enjoyable way to boost employee wellbeing and bring colleagues together.
During a visit, our friendly assistance dogs and volunteers come to your workplace, giving employees the opportunity to step away from their desks, relax and enjoy spending time with the dogs while learning about the life-changing work they do.
Research shows that interacting with dogs can help reduce stress, improve mood and encourage positive social connections—making these sessions a valuable addition to any workplace wellbeing programme.
A typical session includes:
- Time with our friendly assistance dogs
- Informal conversations with our volunteers
- Stories about the impact of assistance dogs
- Opportunities for photographs and team engagement
- Information about Helpful Hounds and our work
It’s a simple but memorable way to invest in your people.
