Informationen
Beschreibung
We are a large animal rescue in County Kildare who always need willing helpers.
There’s a very good bus service to Dublin and other parts of the country if you want to explore on your days off.
The rescue organisation is very busy and full of energy, we regularly have emergencies to attend and new animals arriving constantly, visits to the veterinary hospital, and sometimes have to deal with severe cases of neglect. It is not for the faint hearted, but it is incredibly rewarding. People who enjoy this type of help have lots of energy and enjoy getting hands on experience with large numbers of animals of all varieties. We have many horses, Shetland ponies and donkeys, pigs, goats and lots of dogs.
It is hard and tiring help but very rewarding.
All the volunteers are a great bunch of people, very friendly and helpful.
It’s noisy and full on most days. Always people in and out.
It is very important that you speak some English. Winter you would need warm clothes and warm boots/wellingtons.
We have a no meat policy because most Volunteers are vegetarian or vegan.
The farm is a busy happy place 💕
Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten
Karitative Arbeit
Betreuung von Tieren
Mithilfe auf einem Bauernhof
Handwerkliche Arbeiten
UNO-Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung, die dieser Gastgeber verfolgt
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
We have a bustling rescue centre where many volunteers come to help out as a team. They will learn about how to treat injuries, basic vet nursing, handling horses, gaining trust, equine nutrition.
Arbeit
We are looking for three types of volunteers.
We need 10 physically fit volunteers able to help with animals, muck out, water, feed, help with fencing, all the tasks needed on horse farms.
We also need one or two volunteers to help in the house. Cleaning, organising, making beds, cleaning cupboards, perhaps making simple lunch for all the volunteers.
As a busy farm, we are also looking for some handy volunteers. People who can fix fences and do general yard and house diy projects. You never know what needs doing.
Please let me know in your message which type you are interested in.
A lot of team spirit is needed and the ability to communicate is important.
Good English is essential.
Gesprochene Sprachen
Englisch: Gute Kenntnisse
Unterkunft
We have a range of accommodation options, either in shared rooms in our farm house or in our little cabins. Accommodations are basic but clean and linen etc is provided.
Food will be provided by us, there is always loads of food at the farm for volunteers.
We all eat a vegetarian or vegan diet on the farm. The farm is a no meat zone.
Was noch ...
The opportunity to travel is great. We also have regular buses to the West of Ireland from our nearest village and to Dublin. The area has canal and forest walks but own transport would be advised for real exploration as we are a volunteer based rescue and don't take time off personally.
Great if you have a car but not essential.
Travellers from some countries may require a work visa. Please check if this is a requirement with your country.

I loved the farm and the people that worked there and I consider coming back next year! So much passion and generosity for animals AND humans is just awesome! You will always have people around you that are there for you when things aren't going great, and you have people around you that are there when you need a good laugh!

I spent a month in this special place. The work could be really hard and tiring, sometimes we had no more hot water haha, but we always found comfort with such affectionate animals. The people living on the farm are always listening and the other workawayers were just fantastic. I will never forget each of them. Thank you for everything !

Kate stayed with us for 5 weeks and we loved her. Her laugh is infectious. The work here is demanding and Kate just got stuck in. She was a pleasure to have on the farm and was very compassionate with our animal. Clean, hard working and friendly. We hope to see her again soon.

This Workaway was a really great experience. I stayed 3 weeks and I was so good there that I never took one foot out of the farm.
