Mary recently hosted a workshop focused on designing pet friendly accommodation for older people.

The workshop followed the ‘Conversation on Pets and Aged Care’ that Mary hosted in May this year. The Conversation overwhelmingly agreed that animals can have a positive impact on health and wellbeing.
