Carers Network's unique BizzyBox Lending Project continues to provide carers with the opportunity to borrow for free activity items that they can enjoy both themselves, and with their loved ones.
Two of the comfort pets have brought great joy to both a local resident living with dementia and a befriender from Resonate Arts who has been borrowing products from the project’s library to use with them at their home:
"Over the past few months, my Befriendee and I have enjoyed using the Carers Network interactive puppies (now named Bonkers the Beagle and Woofy the Jack Russell!) during our sessions. My Befriendee loves stroking and cuddling them, and together we’ve imagined countless adventures. It is incredible to see the joy and light they bring and just shows how important the sense of touch and connection can be for a person living with dementia." Creative Befriender, Resonate Arts
Your continued generosity has helped us expand and keep running this project, so that more carers and professionals can borrow products such as Bonkers the Beagle and Woofy the Jack Russell from the library to enjoy and benefit from at home!
