In 2019 my gorgeous cockapoo Billy passed the assessment to become a Therapy Dog. I got Billy soon after my former partner Tom died in 2016 and he was definitely my therapy dog through that tough time. So I was to volunteer with Pets as Therapy and that as an assessed PAT dog, Billy could now help others in need. Billy’s first job as a Therapy Dog was to sit with the children from the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School in Horsham while they read out loud to their classmates and teachers. The school is an incredible school that caters for pupils with severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties, or complex needs. Their vision is to enable every pupil to discover and develop their potential and have a real pride in their achievements.

On February 13th 2021 Philippa and Penelope’s dear father Philip died from pancreatic Cancer. So much of our father’s legacy lives on in us and our work today. The idea that you just need to solve the next problem and move on and if you can’t solve it – move on anyway. The hunger for learning and knowledge. The confidence to believe in ourselves and the absolute commitment to squeeze every last drop out of the one life you have.

Through the tough last few months of his illness and his incredible pragmatism and courage, our mother and family were supported by the nurses at PancreaticCancer.org.uk. Their generosity, understanding and warmth combined with their practical knowledge and advice was a lifeline. We are honoured to donate to such an important and wonderful organisation – and will continue to do so. A big, big thank you to all of you for your care and kindness.

Frontline19 was founded in 2020 by Claire Goodwin-Fee to offer a confidential psychological support service for people working in the NHS & frontline services in the UK. Frontline19 was set up in response to the exceptional pressure on staff during the Covid19 pandemic and was soon overwhelmed with requests for therapy and counselling support. As a qualified integrative therapist, Philippa immediately volunteered a number of free therapy slots every week to those in need from the NHS. We continue to support Frontline19 and are very proud to be associated with such a needed, caring and passionate organisation.
