Rules

Volunteers need to be flexible, like animals (we have dogs and cats), and be prepared to muck in when necessary. Time off must be discussed in advance. We are not near a bus stop so lifts need to be scheduled. We provide a couple of drinks in the evening. Help with food prep and cleaning and washing up is appreciated.
