Mini Volunteer Focus

Friday, December 16th 2016

One of our younger volunteers popped in today with his grandma. During his short visit Nathan helped with enthusiasm on a range of tasks:

Putting the wheelbarrow away in the workshop;

Tidying up a fire site;

And decorating the Christmas tree on the veranda!

Here’s the end result:

Thank you Nathan (and grandma)!

Thank you also to Colin who came and helped us by filling the bird feeders in preparation for ringing at the weekend and to Charlie (with us on work experience from Askham Bryan) who got stuck into all the site work we were doing today.
