A new animal centre in West Lothian is changing the lives of those with additional needs in the region.

The Urban Nature Retreat was opened near Bathgate six months ago by partners Sean Carr and Marika Richie.

They use animals like ponies, tortoises, lambs and alpacas to build confidence in young people and adults in need of support.

It's the first centre of its kind in the region and has been set up as a non-profit.
