A festive favourite. ✨

⚡️THIS WEEKEND⚡️ we will be back in Malham staying at Hilltop Farm Bunkbarn for the FINAL RETREAT of 2025 😱

I can't believe it is the last one of the year, I am super excited to see everyone but am also sad that it will be it until next April - SHALL I ADD ANOTHER FOR FEBRUARY??? 🤔😁

Anyway, expect final retreat spam from Friday onwards for a super special winter weekend of Yoga, Nordic Walking & Beginner Navigation.

Yesterday we met a puppy who, at just ten weeks old, is already carrying a responsibility far bigger than she is.
Her name is Sapphire.
A small German shepherd… with a job that almost no police dog ever gets.
Sapphire won’t be searching for suspects or racing across fields.
Her role is quieter. Softer. But in many ways, far heavier.
She’s training with her handler to become a Vulnerable Witness Support Dog — a rare and incredibly important role. Her job will be to sit beside children as they make statements about some of the most difficult moments of their young lives. To help them feel safe. To steady shaking hands. To calm frightened hearts.
To remind them they’re not alone.
Imagine being a child, scared, overwhelmed, trying to find the words for something no child should ever have to describe…
and then a gentle shepherd pup pads over, settles beside you, and lets you lean into her warmth.
That’s Sapphire’s purpose.
Not to chase danger, but to heal from it.
And she hasn’t been bred for the job or shaped into it — she’s simply the right soul, in the right place, at the right time. A tiny dog chosen for her kindness, her softness, and her ability to make the world feel a little less frightening.
We’re going to be cheering her on every step of the way.
Dogs like Sapphire don’t just change policing — they change lives.
💙 Wish Sapphire luck in the comments
💙 Share this to show the incredible work animals do in protecting and supporting us
Some heroes use their teeth.
Some heroes use their courage.
And some, like Sapphire, change the world simply by being there.
