Vana Trust is a fantastic charity that helps so many people from all walks of life! It is an absolute pleasure to volunteer on the farm and not only have we all learnt a huge amount about farming and horticulture but we have also made a great group of friends !”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time volunteering at Vana Trust. The farm is such a special place - a really nurturing environment for all the people who spend time there. It was great to be working outdoors and certainly helped keep me fit looking after the animals, building fences and hanging gates! There’s a great team spirit and I found it a really rewarding experience”.
