Why we work together

We're thrilled to be partners with Pets at Home, together we're helping create responsible pet owners of the future. Pets at Home have shared their skills and knowledge to create some fantastic resources for Beavers and Cubs to learn how to care for different animals and develop a true skill for life.

Free Beaver and Cub workshops available!

Beaver and Cub workshops are specifically created to help your group work towards either their Animal Carer or Animal Friend Activity Badge - So why not come along and join the fun! 

Workshops are 1 hour long and are for up to 15 young people at a time. If you have a larger group, please contact the store in advance as they may be able to accommodate you, or recommend a larger store.

During the session your group will learn about the 5 welfare needs of a pet, if you're group is interested in learning about a particular small animal, please contact the store as they may be able to tailor your workshop. 

Please be mindful that the store will be open to customers during your visit.
