Through sponsorship from Humanimal Trust’s corporate supporters, copies of the children’s non-fiction book We Are All Animals are being distributed to children and young people of all ages at 30 children’s hospitals nationwide, as well as to other medical and educational settings. The initiative highlights how strategic collaboration between charities and businesses can generate meaningful, measurable social impact for children, families and communities.
We Are All Animals uses striking illustrations and real-life stories to explore the deep connections between humans and animals. The book aligns closely with Humanimal Trust’s One Medicine mission, which promotes collaboration between human and veterinary medicine to improve health outcomes for all species.
Sarah Colbourne, Fundraising and Partnerships Manager at Humanimal Trust, said:
“Humanimal Trust exists to unite human and veterinary medicine through One Medicine, so advances in healthcare can benefit both people and animals. By engaging young people with the shared characteristics of the animal kingdom, we hope to inspire future doctors, vets and researchers to work together for the benefit of all.
“This initiative reflects the growing desire among businesses to make a meaningful, long-term contribution to society. By sponsoring these books, our corporate partners are investing in education, empathy and wellbeing, while helping to shape a healthier future for generations to come.”
Read for Good provides brand new books and professional storyteller visits to children and their siblings in the UK’s main children’s hospitals, offering comfort, distraction and moments of joy during hospital stays.
