Pets As Therapy at Fullerton

Twice a month a volunteer from Pets As Therapy visits Fullerton House School with his pet dog Millie. Students who love animals get alot out of this actvitiy as do the children who are unsure about dogs. During each timetabled slot the young people get to spend time with Millie and this may involve petting her, brushing her and feeding her snacks. For some at first it may just involve learning to be comfortable in the same room as a dog. Millie is a gorgeous long haired collie dog and all of her student visitors and staff love her visits, their very own Lassie. Millie also works with their psychology department and some of the young people who have quite extreme phobias of dogs to help them feel more at ease in different situations around school.

Hesley Village Projects

Many of the adults from Hesley Village have recently taken part in projects that have benefit the local community. The first involved willow cutting in preparation for building a willow dome at Whiston Worry Goose Infant School. The second project involved several people making four large mosaic pictures for an outside sensory garden for Doncaster Children's Services.

Barnsley Advocacy Group

One of the people supported at Low Laithes Village attends an advocacy group every week in Barnsley and progressed to Group Secretary. He helps people to participate in group meetings enabling people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain services they need.

Young Novelist Writes for Charity

Richard Harvey, a 19 year old young man with Autism, has put his creative skills to work by penning a fictional adventure story for charity. Working with his staff at our Low Laithes Village site near Barnsley, Richard is raising money for three environmental charities through the sale of his book.
