Juno may not be on the payroll… but she’s absolutely stealing the spotlight as our top model 🐾✨💙

Rocking our brand new bandanas (beautifully made by ), she’s showing us exactly how it’s done 😎🐶 Our team will be out and about in these soon — and if they look half as good as Juno, we’re winning!

Who wore it best? We think Juno might have this one in the bag 🐕💫

🏆 Best Team 2026 Elysian Awards — what a moment!

We are beyond proud of every single member of Team PAWS 🐾 The dedication, compassion and consistency you bring every day makes a real difference to young people navigating education, life’s challenges and the world around them.

Our Founder & Director, Nici Maxwell, said:
“I am so proud of the team we’ve built. The work our practitioners and their dog teams do is immeasurable for the families we support — helping children and parents feel seen, grow in confidence, and thrive. Being recognised like this is a true testament to the impact they make every day.”

This award belongs to all of you 💙

Balto and a YP getting out into the great outdoors on a recent outreach visit as we slowly shift into spring 🌸🌿🌼

Even without ownership, just spending time outdoors with a dog acts as a “nature pill” that can lower cortisol levels and boost your mood more effectively than a solo walk. Research shows that this cross-species connection in a green space triggers a 300% spike in oxytocin, instantly reducing stress and improving mental clarity for the young person.

📣 At the end of 2025 we partnered with Zeffy to raise funds for families facing delays in diagnosis, EHCP provision or funding decisions.

So far… we’ve raised over £1,400 🥳

These funds are already helping us subsidise sessions for parents paying privately while awaiting funding, and providing new resources for wellbeing and learning activities across the team.

Huge thank you to:

* Alex Anderson & Bramley – and her iCollege class The Pod for raising £140
* Alison Telling – £275 raised through her Christmas Wreath Workshop
* Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) – an incredible £1,004 raised at their Christmas Cabaret performances

For context:
£50 = one practitioner & therapy dog session
£100 = wellbeing and learning resources
£200 = recruitment costs for specialist team members

Every pound makes access to support possible when families are stuck in the waiting process. For more information on our fundraising goals and to find out how you can donate head to our website (Link) or go direct to Zeffy (Link in bio)

We are so grateful for all the support we receive.

🐾💙 Another week in the life of our incredible PAWS dogs & practitioners 💙🐾

What a beautiful few days it’s been out and about supporting young people 💫

📚 Bailey has been spending time at Bell Farm, hanging out with a YP and bringing that calm, steady presence he does so well. Sometimes just lying side-by-side with a dog is exactly what’s needed 🐶✨

🎾 Teddy & Bonnie have been loving their sessions too — play, connection, regulation breaks and those quiet “just being” moments that help YP feel safe, settled and seen 💛

✂️ Bramley turned up looking extra smart after a fresh trim and got straight to work building trust and connection. There’s something special about those gentle check-ins and soft eye contact 🐕💬

🎨 And of course… artist Bandit has been at it again, creating another colourful masterpiece with a YP! Creative work with our dogs is such a brilliant way to spark confidence, expression and joy 🌈🖌️

So proud of our dogs and practitioners — the small moments, the big breakthroughs, and all the quiet magic in between 💙
