Today we had the pleasure of Jeff and his dog Ben. Jeff and Ben come to us on a bus from Southsea, this is a pure act of kindness and dedication from Jeff and we are so grateful to him.
Stroking animals, such as cats and dogs, releases endorphins, having a calming effect and therefore reducing stress levels. This is especially beneficial for patients that suffer from dementia or anxiety. Such patients can become stressed and frustrated when they are unable to communicate with people or are unable to express their ideas or feelings but spending time with animals allows patients to bond with them without relying on any language. Pet therapy has also been proven to help children overcome emotional disorders and overcome speech problems.

Today’s a very special day – Frank turns 100!
He had a surprise visitor this morning, Alan Knight, former Pompey goalkeeper and now the Club Ambassador. They had a great chat about the good old days, and Alan brought Frank a personalised football shirt from the club – such a lovely gesture! Thank you Portsmouth Football Club
