  keeping the shared areas clean and tidy;
  feeding the pets and providing any necessary care;

  Accommodation

  You will have a large double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom at your disposal.
  
  We believe that mealtimes are a chance for families to come together; the volunteers share our home and help us with the housework and the animals, just as any other member of the family would.
  
  So eating together is a key part of our routine.
  
  On the days when we are away, the volunteers will have access to a pantry set aside for them, partly because getting supplies can be difficult if they don’t have their own transport.

• 

  What else ...

  It is best to have your own car, as the nearest public transport is over 3 km away.
  Anyway, during the days we are away, the volunteers will find the pantry fully stocked and won't need to go anywhere.
