One Year of All Is Well: Our Story So Far

It all started with three little words…All Is Well.

Over the past twelve months, All Is Well has grown from a simple idea into a recognised approach supporting children, young people, schools and communities through animal assisted interventions, wellbeing workshops, creative activities and the power of connection.

We’ve had the privilege of working with schools, children’s residential homes, women’s mental health groups, family wellbeing sessions and organisations across the region, creating meaningful experiences through dog-led wellbeing sessions, therapeutic interventions, play and creativity.

Our first year has been shaped by so many special moments and opportunities I never expected: BBC interviews, national recognition, publishing my first book, receiving a royal letter of acknowledgement, and completing new professional qualifications that continue to strengthen the heart of our work.

This first year has also been a year of growth and new beginnings. We are incredibly excited to be starting the next chapter of All Is Well: PLAY, alongside the wonderful Sarah.

Together, we will be bringing even more opportunities for connection, creativity and wellbeing through play, building on the same values that have guided All Is Well from the very beginning. At the centre of everything has always been the same simple message that began this journey…

All Is Well

A reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued and supported.

Here’s a look back at our first year and the journey so far.

Thank you to every school, family, organisation and supporter who has been part of our story. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter brings.💙
