Colleague Volunteering @ Mary Arden Farm π
On 30th May, nine colleagues from Finance at Warwick Support Office completed a volunteering day at Mary Arden farm, part of the Shakespeare Trust.
The group asked for help mending a fence. The group replaced fence posts and then put up some wire which should stop the animals from escaping! Once they had finished they then helped escort the 8 goats to their new home through the farm and didnβt lose any!
Well done to all the colleagues involved! πππ
