Celebration Event 2018
12 Nov, 2018

Freshfields Animal Rescue volunteers and staff lit up the night in a fantastic evening of Celebration and Thanks on Friday 2nd November.

Held at the Barbacoa in Waterloo, the evening was an opportunity to recognise and honour our outstanding staff and volunteers, and was made possible by Big Lottery funding.

The evening was, in the words of one of our gems, ‘a rip roaring success’, with awards for our 12 amazing teams from all across the organisation, and for 11 surprised people who were delighted to be given our first ever ‘Hidden Gems’ awards, representing the often ‘unsung heroes’ of the charity.

The evening started off in style, with a surprise video message of Thanks from the Board and Senior Management Team.

Helen Stanbury, Director of Freshfields, said:

‘ ‘It was wonderful that so many staff from both of our rescue centres, in Wales and Liverpool, had come together to celebrate each other’s commitment, and recognise the importance of their various roles as part of the wider Freshfields team.
They are certainly ‘Making a difference together for All animals’, rescuing tens of thousands of domestic and wild animals over the years.

Every single role is very much valued and appreciated.
We currently have 293 wonderful volunteers. For those of you, staff included, who couldn’t make it on the night, this video is for you, and it comes from the heart.
