At Connecting, our vision is to support as many children, young people, parents, and school staff as we can.

Because we operate as a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to deliver this crucial support depends on fundraising, charity grants, and the kindness of people like you.

We can’t do it alone—but together, we can ensure no one has to navigate lifes challenges without a helping hand.

Meet our incredible therapy dogs, Sandy and Newton! 🐾❤️
​We're so proud of the work these two do with children both in schools and at homes across the area. They provide vital support for mental health and wellbeing, helping pupils with things like:
​🐶 Overcoming fear of dogs
​🧘‍♀️ Managing anxiety
​🎒 Addressing school refusal
​😊 Building confidence and self-esteem
​Our therapy dog team includes:
​Sandy: A 3-year-old Cockapoo who is gentle, experienced, and loves a good brush!
​Newton: A 5-month-old Labrador puppy, currently in training and already a natural at offering comfort and calm.
​Seeing the smiles (and paw shakes!) is the best part of our day. We are consistently amazed by the positive impact they have on the children they work with.

We had an amazing time today, at our first session. A few spaces are still available in the coming weeks if you'd like to book on.

We are absolutely thrilled to launch our brand-new summer initiative, Calm & Connected, at our Mountsorrel base!
​Designed specifically for young people finishing Year 6 through to those just finishing Year 9, this is a brand-new, dedicated space created to help them ease into the summer holidays. If you have a young person transitioning to secondary school or navigating the teenage years, this is the perfect, pressure-free environment for them to just connect, relax, and 'be'.
​
​It’s a safe, welcoming space where young people can choose how they want to spend their afternoon:
​Try out journalling, mindful crafts, puzzles, and more.
​Listen to music, tune into podcasts, or just sit back and chill.
​Our sessions are run by mentors who are all highly skilled educational professionals. Plus, we'll have our wonderful therapy dogs on hand to offer a calming presence!
​All drinks, snacks, and resources are fully provided.
​🗓️ When & Where?
​Sessions run from 1:30pm to 3:00pm at our Mountsorrel base on:
​🗓️ Tuesday 21st July
​🗓️ Tuesday 28th July
​🗓️ Tuesday 4th August
​🗓️ Tuesday 11th August
​
​Single Session: £15
​Block Booking (All 4 Sessions): £50
​⚠️ Because this is a brand-new, specialised program, spaces are strictly limited to ensure a calm, small-group environment.
​Give your young person a space of their own to unwind this summer.

Even on holiday, the training doesn't stop! 🐾 Newton perfected his fetch commands this weekend. Gotta keep those therapy dog skills sharp, even while relaxing! 🎾🐕
