Animal Welfare Meetups
Community animal welfare meetups promote the welfare of animals and bring local people together to raise awareness, volunteer, and make a difference in the lives of animals. Sessions provide education on animal care, an opportunity to advocate for animals, and a chance to connect with like-minded people. Sessions are held weekly – no experience is required, just a can-do attitude. Sign up for our Newsletter to keep up-to-date with upcoming sessions.
Community Gardening Sessions

Youth Services
Interacting with animals on a farm can help foster empathy, understanding, and respect for other living creatures. It can also be a highly rewarding experience, as young people learn to care for and form meaningful relationships with animals and peers.
