We are a vegan run animal rescue to promote compassion to all animals.

Story



Staff and volunteers are going to sleep outside with our sheep on Saturday the 20th June!

To make things more challenging, participants will not be allowed tents or any comforts other than a sleeping bag. This means no protection from insect bites or the elements. Or darkness and scary animal sounds!

In order to comply with social distancing measures, members of the same household will be permitted to sleep near each other, whereas others will have to spread out across the paddocks.

For participants' safety, we will only be sleeping in the delicate sheep paddock and the lamb paddock  (the main sheep flock live in our main fields with cows and horses and this would be too risky if these large animals are running through the fields in the night)

For the animals' safety, we will limit the number of people per paddock, and Gabriel the blind and deaf sheep, will be kept in a separate part of the paddock with his friends Stevie and Hattie
