On Christmas Eve we took Santa and his reindeers, 3 goats, a sheep, Lady Gaga the duck, a hen and lots of rabbits and guinea pigs to Martin House Children’s Hospice, Boston Spa.

It was a very special event with over 200 children with their families and carers.

See the photos below:

On Friday 1st December we had our first Christmas visit this year with Alfie, mum and grandma.

We have  been given 2 Rex rabbits, they are called them Peter Rabbit and Ginger.

Rex rabbits coats are so smooth and soft like velvet, particulary lovely for children to stroke.

 

Lolly Hernandez won New Volunteer of the Year award at the Harrogate and District Volunteering Oscars on Friday 4th November 2011.
