Raw dog food business Poppy’s Picnic has donated to Dogs For Good to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
The charity makes ‘life-changing’ differences for people with disabilities through the help of trained assistance dogs to support people with a range of needs including physical disabilities, autism, dementia and learning difficulties.
Soap star and Poppy’s Picnic’s ambassador Gemma Oaten, who introduced the brand to the charity, said: “Mental health comes in all shapes and sizes; for people with disabilities, or those that need extra care and support, a dog can be a life changing and liberating thing. The work that Dogs For Good is doing to train, support and help them to get the most out of their relationship with their dog is invaluable and will in turn have an impact on their mental health by providing relief and companionship.”
