Teddy is two years old, he is a ram and lived at Brittain Pit Farm, but when it was forced to close, all of the animals had to be rehomed.

When GWA formed recently to supply parts and services to the wind turbine industry, they chose Brinsley Animal Rescue as their chosen charity, this generous company donate a portion of…
