Debbie and Bertie have been volunteering for Pets As Therapy since 2018.

Weekly visits are made, on an alternating basis to a local nursing home where the residents stroke, cuddle and, sometimes, sneakily feed Bertie biscuits and to a Primary School for the Read2Dogs scheme.

Ad-hoc visits are also made to the University of Surrey to help students de-stress before exams, to a Police Station and also to various fayres and fetes where the amazing work of Pets As Therapy is promoted.

If you would like to find out more information on Pets As Therapy, or would like to get involved with your pet (it’s not restricted to dogs!), please see: www.petsastherapy.org.

The Charitable Travel Fund work tirelessly to energise and galvanise the support of the travel and tourism industry, and the travelling public, to raise tangible financial support to communities in travel destinations that depend on tourism revenue, but have little support when that income is threatened or extinguished by events beyond expectation. Our support starts when tourism stops.

We’re delighted to partner with Debbie and Unite Marketing & Promotions who has pledged a donation for every exhibitor who commits to join the Unite series in 2021. Debbie is making a difference to tourism communities in need. Will you and your company become a supporter today too? We are looking for travel agencies, home workers, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines, hotels, ferry operators, any company connected with the tourism economy to pledge support through small regular donations linked to their future sales and ideally a membership donation to start making a difference right away.

Our partners can show, loud and proud, that they are supporting the Charitable Travel Fund, and helping tourism communities, with our supporter logo – which Unite Marketing & Promotions can now display with our thanks!
