Hope’s Therapy Dogs is now a multi-award-winning organisation—recognised for excellence, ethics, and measurable impact. For our clients, this means you’re choosing a partner proven to deliver safe, child & client-centred, evidence-based interventions with the highest standards of animal welfare and professional practice—bringing calm, confidence, and real results where they matter most.

We are incredibly proud to announce that we have WON the Health & Well being category for the Enterprise Vision Award (EVAS) 2025 – the UK’s largest celebration of women in business.

Winning the Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAS) Health & Wellbeing 2025 is deeply personal for Ali and transformational for Hope’s Therapy Dogs. It honours Hope’s legacy and affirms that our ethical, evidence-based approach to Animal Assisted Intervention truly changes lives. For our organisation, this recognition is both a celebration and a responsibility: to keep raising standards, prioritise the welfare of our dogs, and deliver measurable outcomes for children and young people. It strengthens trust with families, schools, the NHS, and partners; fuels our investment in training and safeguarding; and empowers us to reach more communities with compassion, professionalism, and real impact.

Being part of the EVAS Awards is an incredible honour, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside so many inspiring women making a difference in their industries.

“Ali Colley embodies resilience and compassion. After losing her daughter, Hope, to a brain tumour, she founded Hope’s Therapy Dogs. Her innovative programme uses therapy dogs to provide vital emotional and mental health support for pupils in schools. Ali’s tireless dedication has made a lasting impact on countless lives - we love the work Ali and the team - humans and pooches - are doing.”
