Almost before I could talk, my passion for animal welfare led me to pursue a career as a Vet. Aged 14, I began volunteering at The Farm Animal Sanctuary, while it was still based in Bromsgrove.
When the Sanctuary moved to Evesham I followed, and continued to volunteer each
Saturday, until I went to Veterinary College in 2000. Qualifying from the Royal Veterinary College in 2005, I went to work in mixed practice in Worcestershire and Warwickshire for 4 years. In 2009 I moved to MacArthur Barstow and Gibbs in Droitwich, pursuing my passion for Farm Veterinary Work.
Janet and I had kept in touch during my time at University, and through my early career. It was an honour when she asked if I could come and do the veterinary work for the Sanctuary. Since then, I have become more involved with the committee, fundraising, and admin side of the charity’s work, becoming a Trustee in 2019.
The Farm Animal Sanctuary provides a forever home to over 600 animals who have been rescued from slaughter, abuse or neglect. We receive no government funding and rely on the generosity of people like you to help us, help them.
