Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK. We strive to ensure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal. 

Our volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets visit establishments to ensure people of all ages get the chance to chat to someone — and stroke and cuddle a friendly dog or cat.
