🌿 Volunteer Wellbeing Away Day 🌿

Last week, our wonderful volunteers enjoyed a well-deserved wellbeing away day at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

It was a fantastic opportunity to step away from our daily routines, spend time in nature, explore the inspiring sculptures, and connect with one another in a relaxed setting. The day was filled with laughter, conversation, reflection, and plenty of fresh air.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for their dedication, commitment, and hard work.
