Mr Kelloggs is a miniature therapy horse, from Bournemouth, and is a finalist in the Animal category in 大象传媒 Radio Solent's Make a Difference Awards for 2024.

"He brings a sparkle of joy to all those who need it." He has been visiting people in care homes, hospices, and hospitals for four years. "Being so small and agile means he can interact with everyone even going into lifts to reach people who can not leave their rooms, and navigating through small spaces and around equipment.
His character is sweet and gentle and he has such a calm and affectionate demure. Faces just light up and spirits are lifted when he walks into a room, all their worries and pain just slip away briefly while they stroke his soft nose, smooth his long golden mane, and chat away to him."

The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say 鈥淭hank You鈥 and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others. Nominations for the 2024 awards have now closed and finalists have been selected by a panel of judges. The winners will be announced at our 大象传媒 Radio Solent Make a Difference Awards ceremony in September.
