Seven years. Around 1,000 therapeutic visits and wellbeing interactions. Countless moments of comfort, companionship and connection. Double-certified therapy dog and BBC Make a Difference Award winner Leo has spent seven years quietly serving communities across schools, Psychiatric hospital, care homes and community wellbeing projects, continuing his connections online even during the pandemic.

This September and October, Lil’ Leo CIC is celebrating his remarkable journey with Thank You, Leo, a month-long community celebration culminating on Leo’s 13th birthday. Above all, it is simply to say thank you to Leo for his quiet, consistent commitment to the community.

Join them on Saturday 26th September and Saturday 10th October for one of their community mornings at The Wilderness, 17 Shirley Church Road, Croydon CR9 5AL. Meet Leo, get creative, enjoy a story, capture a Polaroid moment and add to Leo’s Book of Thanks. Refreshments provided.

‘Leo and Parnita are the most fantastic team, providing care, comfort and understanding to our autistic adults at CASPA’ – Chloe, CASPA Co Ordinator.
