Alison Bosworth
Director & Bale's Mum
Hi, seeing the impact Bale made to Harry and our family has made me so passionate about the services we can provide to support other families. I have a background in psychology and adore dogs. I love our growing Bale's Buddies family!
James Bosworth
Director & Bale's Dad
Hi, I grew up working alongside my parents breeding dogs and showing at Crufts. I ABSOLUTELY love dogs!! I've applied all my years of experience on training Bale to help Harry and it is so rewarding seeing all of Bale's Buddies do the same for their people.
Jodie Stoyle
Dog Trainer & Animal Assisted Wellbeing Practitioner
I have been with Bale's Buddies since September 2019. I love spending time with Bertie my dog, who is training to be a Community Therapy Dog, horse riding, cycling and being outdoors, as I love nature. Animals have always been very important to me and the effects they have on your wellbeing.
Zoe Grant
Animal Assisted Wellbeing Practitioner
Hey, I'm Zoe. Currently I'm studying for my BSc (Hons) Applied Animal Science degree. I joined Bales Community Project in January 2023. I love that my job allows me to be around the therapy dogs, interacting with our clients and spending time outdoors. In my spare time I enjoy Dartmoor walks with my Hungarian Vizsla, sea swimming and camping.
Katie Quantrell

Hi, I’m Katie, I joined the Bale’s Buddies team in June 2021. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have always loved them, particularly dogs! I have two dogs of my own which are the best companions. I love going to visit new places and enjoy being outdoors especially the beach. I can’t wait to pursue my new career for such an amazing business.

Hi, I'm Jessica and I started at Bale's Buddies in September 2023. I have always loved dogs and you can usually find me spending time with my Cocker Spaniel, Bramble. I have been working in events for a number of years and graduated with an Event Management degree in 2019. I am excited to be able to work with dogs and the rest of the team at Bale's Buddies!
