A massive thank you to everyone who supported our annual Summer Open Day. Thanks to our hard working volunteers who have been so busy preparing, setting up, baking and clearing away. Thank you also to the 600 people who came and visited us, despite the really poor weather and who braved the mud.
Taking into account the rain, we did very well we haven’t sorted out all of the income but so far it has totalled £4,800.
Thank you all very much!

We have been to two fox rescues this week in Sandiacre and Wollaton, sadly we could not save the lives of either fox, both we believe were victims of road traffic accidents. On Sunday we took a call about a fox lying close to a busy road breathing heavily, we tried our best but sadly…
This weekend has been quite busy, we rehomed two Pygmy Goats, unfortunately though two sheep came in. This poor girl is Mary, her owners made contact the day they were moving house, desperately needing a home for poor Mary. Although we were reluctant to take on any more sheep, as we now have 2 rams and 6 ewes, how…
