Hi! I’m Nicholas, I have finally found my calling here at the sanctuary! After a few years of working in different jobs I was really feeling that I hadn’t found a lifelong career. I began thinking about things that I really enjoy and could turn into a career – I love spending time in the outdoors and have an affinity for animals, having had a menagerie of rehomed animals when I was growing up!
I grew up in the village so I have visited the sanctuary on many occasions, and when I heard of an opportunity to work here I jumped at the chance. Since then, I haven’t looked back and I love every moment being here. I love being outdoors, keeping active, and most of all I love the animals.
It’s very difficult to choose a favourite animal as they are all incredible, but if I had to choose one I would say Lily the Shetland Pony. She always manages to make me smile no matter what, and she is always willing to have a cuddle.
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.
