  Aide

  We have a number of different projects that we are working on in the garden and grounds having some extra people on hand who are keen to help with some of there would be great. There is always a big variety of things to be done ranging from grass cutting and strimming, clearing and securing areas for some of the rescue animals we foster.
  
  Over the next few weeks/months we would also like to welcome someone that could help us free up some time by helping out. We have a work project (working from our office at home) that we are looking to complete as soon as we can and having an extra pair of hands around the place would be really helpful in giving us some time to complete it.
  
  We would also be happy if someone wanted to do some of both types of task! We would welcome couples and single people alike.
  
  Ideally we would like someone who would spend some time helping the kids to learn some of your native language.
