Romford and Ilford doctors and nurses had the opportunity to meet police horses and a wellbeing dog as thanks for their hard work over the past year.
As part of Thank You Week organised by Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT), Queen’s and King George hospital staff were invited to pet horses Verdun and Ulls Water, and wellbeing dog Dexter.
Organisers from the trust’s wellbeing team Amelia Darling and Katie Winstanley explained the pet therapy was provided for free by the Metropolitan Police’s East Area Basic Command Unit (BCU).

Emma Shipley and her Yorkie Talkies walking group KEEN walker Emma Shipley has been encouraging people to get outdoors for their exercise in lockdown - and raise money for a good cause. Marketing executive Emma, of York, has been setting virtual challenges for people to complete while raising money for the local Mountain Rescue team. She set up Yorkie Talkies four years ago in which she leads guided walks for free - and built up 400 members from across the North of England to the group. Unable to walk together under lockdown restrictions, Emma set them a series of individual challenges and they have raised more than £300 for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue.
