๐ Happy Volunteersโ Week! ๐
Today we had the pleasure of joining Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL) at the beautiful Peter Le Marchant Trust in Loughborough for their Volunteer Appreciation Event and what a wonderful morning it was!
We got crafty making bunting ๐, enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch, and what an honour, we got to take part in the maiden voyage of Peter Le Marchant Trustโs newest vessel! ๐ขโจ What an absolute privilege to be part of such a special moment for an organisation run entirely by volunteers. We felt very lucky indeed!
And of course, spending time connecting with other volunteer-involving organisations who just get it, that passion for giving back and making a real difference was just as special. ๐
A special mention and a huge thank you to two of our wonderful volunteers, Lindy Littleton and Ella Clarke who joined us today as a small token of appreciation for their incredible dedication to Redgate Farm. We hope you had a brilliant time and felt every bit as celebrated as you deserve! ๐
A huge thank you to VAL and specifically Emma Ward for organising such a warm and welcoming event, and to the incredible volunteer team at Peter Le Marchant Trust for hosting us and for letting us share in a little piece of history! ๐
At Redgate Farm Animal Sanctuary, our volunteers are absolutely central to everything we do and this week is the perfect opportunity to shout about it. ๐พ
To every single person who gives their time, energy and heart - THANK YOU. You make the difference. ๐
