‘I have been volunteering at Restore Hope for about three years, helping with the farm animals every week, as well as supporting the big events where I teach visiting families about the animals.

Volunteering here has brought so much joy into my life.

I’ve made lovely friends and enjoy spending time in such a beautiful setting. When I was struggling with all my responsibilities, Restore Hope appeared and helped me through it all.

The Restore Hope team have always been there with kindness, encouragement and practical support. Each time I come to the farm, I feel stronger, better supported and happier. I genuinely believe I’m a better person because of Restore Hope.

If someone asked me about volunteering with Restore Hope, I’d say: “Come along, it’s amazing!”
