April Spruce Up

There are so many ways that volunteers can help and find personal reward in what they do. Eddie loves to visit AshTree Stables for the company, but hates to be idle for long, so, offered a paintbrush and some wood preservative he sets about applying a much needed coat to the chalet.

People who help out here at Holton Lee all have their own reasons for doing so and we believe that we all need to derive some benefit for ourselves while helping others. We all need help at times and something to feel good about, as most of us have problems of our own. There is a wonderful family atmosphere at the stables and everyone is encouraged to share their problems if they wish, and this can be a great help when there's no prejudice or judgement, just friendly support.

I am so grateful for all the training that I've received and it is great to feel that I can now pass on some of that training to others.
