Teddy the miniature donkey came back to see us, following his first visit during our Workplace Wellbeing Awareness Week. We actually won a little competition which led to a free visit and what an exciting time it was!
Teddy visited both homes, making a big difference to everyone’s day! Residents loved seeing him again, chatting to him and petting him. They really enjoyed his company; it was a pleasure to have him around.
Sarah Avery, our Wellbeing Champion at Craig Healthcare, said: “We just want to say a huge thank you for the generosity and kindness of Blackberry Donkeys Donkey Hire for today’s generous gift. It was wonderful to have Teddy around and he really did bring a massive smile to the faces of many residents.
“Animals play a big part in the care we provide at Craig Healthcare because of the effect they have on residents by helping them to relax and encourage interaction among each other. It certainly sparked a great topic of conversation for the rest of the day and for some time after, that’s for sure!”
