We are a unique, award-winning charity, tackling loneliness for older adults through animal companionship and friendship. As part of our charitable offering, we provide community space venues in Shawlands, Troon and Alloa where people are welcome to come in for a free hot drink and a biscuit, and enjoy the company of our companionship dogs, staff and volunteers. At our venues, we offer group activities and relaxing therapy treatments to over 60s, for free, and their beloved canine companions are welcome too.

Disabled Access at Give A Dog A Bone... and an animal a home, Troon Community Space

This venue has push door access and a member of our team is always available to open the door for visitors. Behind the door there is a fully accessible short metal gate, this is kept closed to ensure the safety of the dogs on the premises in the event the door is opened while they are roaming. This gate opens fully and can fold into segments. The floor, from entry, and throughout public access areas is flat, making the venue accessible to large wheelchairs and walking frames. Entering the premises brings you directly into the tea, chat and activity area of this venue - these services are accessible. Our tables are a standard height and we are able to move chairs, as required, to facilitate wheelchair users. We normally have at least one team dog who is allowed to free roam the premises and often have multiple visiting dogs in the premises too. Any visiting dogs should be kept on a short lead. We occasionally have background music playing in the venue, however we can change the volume or turn music off as required. Our toilet facilities at this venue are accessible.
