SEASONAL SOLIDARITY IS HERE!

A little warmth goes a long way!

We're excited to announce that Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC is bringing Seasonal Solidarity to Leeds this December!

We know this time of year can be difficult. Whether it's financial pressures, loneliness or simply needing a friendly face, we want to bring our community together and spread a little kindness.

Kulture Coffee, 380 Kirkstall Road, Leeds, LS4 2HQ

Wednesday 16th December

6pm – 8pm

Come along for food, coffee and a friendly chat!

Struggling financially? We'll cover your bill, no questions asked.

Everyone is welcome, with or without a dog!

This isn't a Christmas event. It's a celebration of community, inclusion and solidarity, regardless of your culture, beliefs, background or circumstances.

CAN YOU HELP MAKE THIS POSSIBLE?

We're looking for donations to help cover food and drinks, as well as pet supplies and goodies to support people and their four-legged companions.

Whether you're a local business, an individual or someone who simply believes in the power of community, we'd love your support!

Donate to our GoFundMe:
https://gofund.me/7c43ca121

Want to donate pet supplies or collaborate?
Email [email protected]

Every donation, share and act of kindness helps us make this event possible.

Because solidarity isn't about what you have. It's about what we're willing to share.

A big thank you to Woof The Dog Shop for your donation!
Woof have always been amazing, and did you know Paws did their first ever autism assistance dog talk there before the CIC was born?
This was because they are not just an amazing pet supply shop, but they are neurodiversity inclusive!

We'll be making sure all donations of pet supplies get a shout out and added as a colab to our posts because we want people to know your kindness 💚🐾

Feel free to get in touch at [email protected]

Today is International Pronouns Day, a day to encourage the sharing of pronouns and promote their respectful use.

Using someone's correct pronouns is an important part of respecting their identity and helping everyone feel included.

Mistakes happen, but what matters is how we respond. If you get someone's pronouns wrong, simply correct yourself, apologise briefly and carry on with kindness and respect.

At NION, we believe in respecting and celebrating people's individual identities, and treating others as we would wish to be treated 🩷

ASSISTANCE DOG OR SERVICE DOG — DOES THE NAME REALLY MATTER?

We've noticed something within the assistance dog community that we think deserves a conversation.

People being criticised, corrected and sometimes even attacked for referring to their assistance dog as a "service dog" in the UK.

But we want to ask something...

What harm is actually being caused?

In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 uses the term "assistance dog". That's the terminology used in the legislation, and understanding our legal rights is important.

But "service dog" is a widely recognised term internationally.

And language isn't always straightforward.

What if English isn't someone's first language?

What if someone is neurodivergent and struggles with terminology?

What if someone has moved to the UK with a dog trained overseas?

What if someone simply prefers calling their dog a service dog?

Does using a different term automatically make their dog any less legitimate?

Of course, we should educate people about UK legislation, particularly when discussing legal rights, access refusals and responsibilities.

But there's a difference between educating someone and policing their language.

At PAL CIC, we believe accessibility should extend to how we communicate with one another.

We can encourage accurate terminology without making people feel unwelcome, embarrassed or excluded.

Surely what matters most is the dog's training, welfare, behaviour and the support they provide their disabled handler, not simply the label someone uses?

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Does terminology matter to you? Can different terms coexist, or do you think consistent language is essential?

Let's have a respectful discussion. Different perspectives are welcome. 💚

SEASONAL SOLIDARITY IS COMING!

Because community is about looking after one another.

The colder months can be difficult. With rising living costs, financial pressures and the expectations that often come with this time of year, we know that not everyone finds the season easy.

That's why Pawsitive Action Leeds CIC is working on something special this December!

A warm drink and a friendly face.

Hopefully some tasty treats too!

Gifts and essential supplies for our four-legged companions.

A welcoming, inclusive space to connect, chat and enjoy some community joy.

No judgement. No questions asked. Just community.

This isn't about Christmas, religion or how you celebrate. It's about bringing people together, regardless of their background, beliefs or circumstances.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We're looking for local businesses, pet shops and wonderful individuals who would like to support Seasonal Solidarity through donations, supplies, sponsorship or simply lending a helping paw!

Whether it's a bag of dog food, a few treats, a financial contribution or something else entirely, every bit of kindness can help us make someone's season a little brighter.

Location and date to be announced!

We're still putting everything together, but we wanted to invite our community to be part of making it happen.

Want to donate, collaborate or get involved? Drop us a message or email [email protected].

Because solidarity isn't just a seasonal thing. It's something we build together, all year round. 💚

COOKIES & CANINES

Our next Cookies & Canines social is on 21st October, 6pm–8pm at Kulture Coffee, and this time we're getting crafty!

THIS MONTH'S THEME: DIY DOG TOYS!

Got some old T-shirts you don't mind cutting up?
Been wondering why you've been hoarding all those loo roll tubes?

Bring them along!

We'll be having a go at turning everyday bits and pieces into fun DIY enrichment and toys for our dogs. No crafting expertise required, wonky creations are VERY welcome.

As always, Cookies & Canines is a relaxed, accessible and LGBTQIA+ & disability-inclusive social for dog lovers. You don't need to have a dog, all dog lovers are welcome! 💚

Cookies & Canines is changing!

Going forward, every social will have its own theme, giving us something fun, useful or interesting to explore together alongside the usual chatting, coffee and dog appreciation.

And we'd love YOU to get involved.

Got an idea for a future theme?
Fancy running a session yourself?
Know loads about a dog-related topic?
Want to talk about something disability-related?

Let us know! We'd love Cookies & Canines to be shaped by the people who come along.

📅 21st October
⏰ 6pm–8pm
