Such a great idea to get corporate volunteers to help out at Farms for Schools members @Sacrewell Wellbeing for the volunteers and a nice helping hand for the farm, so they can offer more to visitors. Interested in getting involved? Find out more here: sacrewell.org.uk/about/voluntee…

Just adorable; the calves and lambs at Farms for Schools members @HallHillFarm are getting outside for the first time. Get yourselves outside and go and welcome them. #farmvisit #OutdoorLearning #calves #lambs
