Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started volunteering at Animals in Need when I had a break from my flying career due to a medical issue last year. This took longer to resolve than I had hoped and I started working here in June last year. I have since regained my medical and am flying part time, but I am still invested here and continue to work 5 days per week.

I want to firstly acknowledge the people who are part of this charity. Firstly, along with the owners and trustees there is a small group of employed staff, and I have to say I have never worked anywhere before with a team of such hard working, committed and dedicated people who give so much. There is also a sizeable group of amazing volunteers and supporters who give their time to support the staff in looking after the welfare of all the animals in our care. I personally have a small group of volunteers who work alongside me, and they are some of the best people you could ever hope to meet.

There is a particular little resident who has become my soulmate on her road to overcome her anxieties. Her name is Toffee, and together with one of my closest friends, Justin, the three of us are going to climb to the summit of Snowdon in June to raise as much money as we can to support all the work done here.

We would be grateful for any donations, no matter how small, as this would make a contribution to the continued amazing work done here. If you could also please share this page so we can raise as much as possible that would be great!

Thank you,

Irwin, Toffee and Justin
