Nuzzlets is a small Charity based near York. Our objectives are to provide loving homes for unwanted animals and free access to all children for therapy and education. Particularly welcome are disabled and special needs children and children with life threatening illnesses. We offer many services to the local and wider community and are keen to involve the local community in our work. As many of our animals have been mistreated, we try to educate young people about the cost and long term commitment of looking after animals. We run an animal welfare club, offer work experience, deliver talks to the Beavers, Young Farmers, St John’s Ambulance Cadets and school assemblies. We also visit after school clubs and encourage Duke of Edinburgh students to carry out their service section at Nuzzlets. Activities include walking goats and rabbits, goat and rabbit agility, collecting eggs and stroking all the animals. Many disabled, special needs and terminally ill children visit Nuzzlets, either with their special schools, their families or with the children’s hospice. We also take the animals to the children’s hospice; the animals encourage movement and have a therapeutic effect. More recently we have visited deprived family groups and disabled adults have visited us. We arrange children’s birthday parties for disabled and special needs children. Everyone benefits, both the animals and the children.

Ability Dogs 4 Young People is a new charity on the Isle of Wight. We are training assistance dogs for young disabled people (aged 16-24) here on the Island. Our highly trained assistance dogs will provide practical help with tasks like picking up dropped items and opening doors, and will help to increase the young people’s independence as they start going to college or work. There are over 700 disabled young people on the Isle of Wight under the age of 25, which has a population of just 150,000. We have a very open mind about who our dogs help and hope to include young people with any disability. If an assistance dog can help, we will do our best to train a dog to meet the young person’s specific needs. Ability Dogs 4 Young People was started in 2012 and we already have puppies in training living with Puppy Parents on the Island. It takes two years to fully train each dog, from an eight week old bundle of fun to a calm, responsible assistance dog.
