Woodlands Academy Therapy Dog Fundraiser

Pet Therapy is widely accepted as a powerful aid to communication and motivation. Research has shown that companion dogs can improve the well-being of children reducing their anxiety levels by making the school environment happier and a more enjoyable place to be. C.I.T.’s Director of Safeguarding & Well-Being, Ann White, has worked for the Trust since its fruition in 2014. Prior to that, Ann had worked at Grantham Additional Needs Fellowship since 1998. Following her 30-year career in education, Ann is retiring at the end of this academic year and feels passionately about giving something special back before she leaves. Ann is intending to take on a huge challenge in the Lake District next month. Taking place from Friday 13th through to Monday 16th May, beginning in the village of Grasmere in Cumbria, Ann will complete a series of tasks including open water swimming at 6am each morning, a series of running challenges every day, and climbing two mountains! All to help Woodlands Academy raise funds for their own Therapy Dog. This donation page will remain open until the end of term. Thank you for your support.
