Welcome to the TheraPaws Wellbeing Hub

The TheraPaws Wellbeing Hub is a welcoming community space in Bedwas where people can connect, relax and improve their wellbeing in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment.

Our hub has been created to provide preventative, non-clinical wellbeing support for people experiencing loneliness, social isolation, stress, anxiety, bereavement, life changes or simply a need for connection with others.

Whether you would like to join a group activity, enjoy a chat over a cup of tea/coffee, spend time with our wellbeing support dogs, or access one-to-one wellbeing support, we are here to help.
