They loved it!! - thank you so much." - Year 9 Teacher (Market Field School) “For a child who can't even sit still on the carpet at school, has so much difficulty in concentrating as everything distracts him, it was really heartwarming to see him totally engrossed and focused on what he was doing”. – Nell (Parent of autistic student) "We are so grateful for the opportunities that you have given the two groups of children you have worked with at Great Clacton. The feedback from every one of the children has been fantastic." - Tara (SENCO, Gt Clacton School) “The dogs help motivate me to fight through recovery and help people, to make sure they know that life is worth living.” – Georgia Eagle
