Correspondence has been coming through from St John since they received the petition and apparently there will be an announcement in the next couple weeks regarding their next step.  However, it's going to be more directed towards other organisations taking over Therapy Pets programme. 

Their programme timeline maybe extended if a smooth transition can't be reached by the June deadline.

I will continue to keep the line communication open with St John for the foreseeable future.

Regards

BB and Brenda
