| In
September, Dawn Nicholas from The Hugs Foundation joined
us for a delicious meal at Bodmin Herb Nursery following
which she gave a very enlightening talk about the foundation
which is based here in Bodmin.
Dawn
told us that Hugs is a charitable organisation that rescues,
rehabilitates and rehomes unwanted and neglected horses
and ponies, as well as giving a home to many other farm
and domestic animals. Dude is one of the ponies who regularly
visits care homes and brings pleasure to the residents.
Hugs
also provide an intervention/support to children and young
people in need of help to improve their physical and mental
well-being, including Nature walks, Animal Interactions,
Arts and Crafts for example, it is also open during school
holidays and it holds open days for the general public,
all visits must be by arrangement only.
