Lil’ Leo is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) (Registration No: 16374056), established to support community wellbeing through innovative, inclusive programmes.
Working in partnership with organisations, charities, mental health professionals, and community groups, Lil’ Leo CIC delivers initiatives that promote compassion, connection, and positive mental health.
At the heart of Lil’ Leo is a vision to become a recognised symbol of wellbeing within communities bringing people and animals together to create meaningful, lasting impact.

Mental health challenges among young people are increasing, and there is no single solution that works for everyone. At Lil’ Leo CIC, we have seen the powerful impact of a tailored, multi-modal therapeutic approach that responds to the diverse needs of children, young people, and communities.
Our vision is to demonstrate and advocate for the value of this approach within the wider mental health community, contribute to raising standards in how it is delivered, and help build a network of practitioners and therapy animals grounded in compassion, respect, and best practice.

To foster well-being and compassion between humans and animals through education, awareness, and inclusive community initiatives, while empowering individuals and communities to champion mental health and responsible care.
