As part of Volunteers' Week we want to say a big THANK YOU to Kath Marsh a volunteer from Mansfield Wildlife Rescue UK

Kath said getting in touch with MWR is the best decision she ever made!

'I was welcomed and shown around the rescue site. I have been taught so many new skills and I feel quite attached to the permanent residents.

The trustees, supervisors and other volunteers are so patient and always encourage me to ask if I am unsure of anything.

I love the fun chats with other volunteers but have learned Pete the peacock and I will never be best friends!'

Great to see local businesses highlighted.
