Our rescue centre students and staff actively engage with local primary schools. 

We offer voluntary education sessions, introducing children to our centre’s animals through short, interactive presentations. 

Our students gain invaluable opportunities to build confidence in their communication and interaction skills in a professional environment. 

By sharing our knowledge about the animals we care for, the outreach work we offer provides a meaningful way for our students to contribute to animal welfare and to educate others.

Working at our small mammal and reptile rescue centre, our learners gain valuable hands-on experience with a range of animals in a safe and supportive environment.  Our clients will participate in all aspects of animal care with close supervision and support. 

Working alongside our enterprise business Wanderlust Walkies, our clients are supported in an accessible work related activity.
