Transforming Lives with Therapy Animals
Fur-Get-Me-Not Therapy Animals CIC brings the profound benefits of animal-assisted intervention directly to those who need it most. We offer tactile, non-verbal sensory experiences, free of charge, removing the barriers that prevent vulnerable children and isolated elderly patients from accessing traditional rural agricultural benefits.
Our story
Founded in Newcastle upon Tyne, Fur-Get-Me-Not Therapy Animals CIC is a social enterprise dedicated to enhancing the well-being of vulnerable individuals. Our journey began with a simple belief: that the unconditional love and therapeutic presence of animals can heal, comfort, and connect. We are passionate about making these powerful interactions accessible to everyone, especially those in North Durham facing significant challenges.
Our approach
We pride ourselves on our unique approach, delivering our vital services directly to facilities. This innovative model eliminates prohibitive financial, transport, and logistical hurdles, ensuring that neurodivergent children and isolated elderly dementia patients can fully experience the joy and therapeutic advantages our animals provide. We are committed to fostering inclusion and improving quality of life, one gentle paw at a time.
