We’ve recently welcomed a couple of groups of volunteers from different businesses, who have come to lend a hand carrying out some tasks for us.
The National Grid came with a team who had travelled from all across the country to spend the day clearing our old Meerkat enclosure of substrate. Despite the overcast weather, the hard labour of shovelling damp sand and wheeling it to be used for ongoing building work meant that many of them were in t-shirts before too long!
A group from Sizewell C chose a cool but sunny day to come and give us some help. Between them they moved two big piles of cut logs to our pond area, ready to be installed as a new pathway at the back of the pond. They also helped to move gravel from our compound to improve the drainage in areas around the centre. Olga said “a big thank you from our team who had an enjoyable day at the Sanctuary last week.”
Without their help, these tasks would have taken our small team a number of days to complete, in between doing their day to day jobs looking after our birds and animals. We’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you to the local groups and businesses who continue to support us throughout the year by donating their time to help us out!
