Yvonne will briefly share some of the benefits of volunteering and contribution (there are many more than you may realise) and how they fit into a balanced life. For the most part we’ll be very hands on – we never know what we may get asked to do. A few of us have been doing this regularly for a few years and are now opening this up to anyone who would like to join us.

The Retreat Animal Rescue is an inspiring project, which offers much needed support to all animals – farmed, domestic and wild. It’s a place close to Yvonne’s heart (two of her rescue cats came from here) and somewhere she finds transformative and uplifting.

Please be prepared to ‘muck-in’ (literally) – but of course feel free to say if there any tasks you are uncomfortable with. An afternoon here always proves to be insightful, thought provoking and energising. When you serve a greater cause you also serve your greater good.

Please wear comfortable, relaxed clothing with tough flat shoes or boots (it’s a working site so you might get mucky!). Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Refreshments can be purchased at the onsite Vegan Cafe. Please avoid bringing your own food.
