The Cuddle Club
The Cuddle Club is on a mission to sprinkle some furry magic into our lives by harnessing the power of animal therapy to boost our mental health.
Research has shown that snuggling with our four-legged friends can work wonders—lowering blood pressure, making hearts dance in a calm rhythm, and releasing feel-good hormones like oxytocin. Enter the Cuddle Club Heroes: our adorable therapy dogs and cats, dishing out thousands of soul-soothing cuddles nationwide! They're spreading joy and creating purr-fectly delightful wellbeing experiences to help people unwind one cuddle at a time.
Companies like Disney, Amazon Logistics, YouTube, Barclays, The Guardian, and Hearst Media have jumped on the cuddle train, weaving dog therapy into their workplace wellness programs. This heartwarming experience has struck a chord with their teams and is scientifically backed—talk about a win-win!
Recently, The Cuddle Club launched the 'Cuddle for Good' initiative, bringing animal therapy events to disadvantaged people within society supported by corporate companies. It’s all about fostering connections and spreading positivity, whilst companies leave a positive paw print!
As mental health challenges mount, proactive solutions are essential. The Cuddle Club is here to support mental wellbeing through the simple joy of spending time with our furry pals, helping us tackle life’s ups and downs.
