Today, our team swapped office desks for muddy boots and work gloves and spent the day volunteering at Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare. It was a day filled with hard work, teamwork, and a shared passion for helping animals.
Getting Stuck In
As soon as they arrived, they were warmly welcomed by the Raystede team, who gave them a tour of the centre and an insight into the incredible work they do to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals. After learning about their mission, it was time to roll up their sleeves and get to work!
Our team took on plenty of manual labour, including mending and painting fences to keep the enclosures secure, as well as landscaping and tidying outdoor areas to improve the environment for both animals and visitors. It was physically demanding for the team but knowing that their efforts were directly benefiting the animals and staff at Raystede made it all worth it.
Meeting the Animals
One of the highlights of the day was getting to meet some of the residents at Raystede, from friendly goats and donkeys to adorable alpacas. Seeing first-hand the love and care they receive reinforced just how important places like Raystede are for animal welfare.
Giving Back & Looking Ahead
By the end of the day, the team were tired but incredibly fulfilled, knowing they had contributed in a small way to the fantastic work Raystede does. Volunteering together not only strengthens our team spirit but also reminded us of the power of giving back.
A huge thank you to the staff at Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare for having us again we loved every moment and cant wait to return in the future!
