What an amazing day, a great turnout and more work done than you could have thought possible!
Thank you so much to all our great volunteers. Stage 1 of the new picket fence has been installed, enabling a wider entrance for wheelchairs to the Rabbitareum, a secure, strong fence for the animals, and a new gateway. Inside, two new sensory boards were created.

We are now part of the Hub of Hope.
Who is Hub of Hope for?
We all have mental health, so the hub is for everyone.
You may need help if you or someone you care for is struggling with poor mental health or emotional distress. Whether seeking support, maintaining well-being, or in crisis, the Hub of Hope offers access to help and lists the Sheds' services.
It’s a free service, as mental health support should be without barriers.
