Our mission, vision & values

CareDogs envisions a future where loneliness and social isolation have been solved by better community connections, companionship and getting outdoors more in our local area

Our values

Community

We believe we can tackle loneliness and social isolation by building meaningful connections in local communities.

Cheerfulness

We always smile when we’re around our four-legged friends so we want to share that joy with others.

Companionship

We see the positive impact of our befriending sessions and walking events. We are stronger together!

Our Mission & Vision

Being around dogs has many benefits, from increasing emotional wellbeing to lowering the risks of health problems, which is why we want to bring canine companionship to all older people in our local communities! 

Our mission at CareDogs is threefold:

  1. Tackle loneliness and social isolation one dog walk at a time via our befriending service

  2. Provide local volunteering opportunities for people and their dogs 

  3. Host community dog-walking events in partnership with neighbouring charities and organisations to get more people out walking and talking

Our approach

Step
01.

We find friendly volunteers looking to do good in their local community with their dogs.

Step
02.

We pair these volunteers (and their dogs) with our clients for regular visits and walks.

Step
03.

We encourage users to become active members in their local area through our scommunity events.
