In January, OUR DOGS met the newly formed Therapy Dogs Nationwide Charity founder, Eileen Slattery, at Manchester Championship Show. This is a new registered charity run entirely by volunteers, many of who have a huge amount of expertise in the many different aspects of therapy work with dogs. Whilst Therapy Dogs Nationwide work in hospitals, hospices, nursing and residential homes, care centres etc, it is in schools that their current success has been highly praised.
Therapy Dogs Nationwide's Paws and Read programme is working alongside the Kennel Club's Bark and Read scheme and currently over 50 schools have therapy dogs from TDN working with children, encouraging them to improve their literacy skills. Many children who were previously too embarrassed, scared or uncomfortable to read aloud are now reading very happily because of the interaction with a therapy dog.
Therapy Dogs Nationwide were delighted when TV legend, Pam St Clement agreed to become a Celebrity supporter of the Charity. The Ex Eastenders star is well known for her love of all animals and for her work with several canine charities in the UK. Pam will be at CRUFTS on the Therapy Dogs Nationwide stand in Hall 3 Stand 53b on Saturday 11th March at 11am, where she will present a beautiful new trophy which has been named The Pam St Clement Trophy in her honour. Pam will also be presenting other awards to Therapy Dogs Nationwide volunteers for their outstanding achievements. For more information on Therapy Dogs Nationwide, please visit their stand at CRUFTS or contact TDN Founder, Eileen Slattery on 07763 182387 or email - eileen_slattery@sky.com
