**What the charity does:** We worked with care experienced and vulnerable children in kinship care, foster care, on the cusp or care and young carers especially those who have started to show worrying behaviour towards animals.  We run animal themed workshops and activities sharing the stories of rescued animals in such a way that the children learn to see animals as sentient beings who can share similar emotions to them.  This helps turn worrying behaviour towards animals into caring compassionate and nurturing behaviour.  We offer activities throughout the year for children and young people aged between 3 and 25 years.
