It's moments like these that keep us going - a water vole on the #RiverVer, on a recent summer evening. We love our chalkstream!

It’s #TherapyDogAppreciationDay 🐕💙

It's well proven that animals can reduce the stress of being in a hospital, for patients and staff alike, so at GOSH we're delighted to regularly welcome a wonderful team of canine volunteers. How many of them have you met?!🐕

@VerValleySoc @Chilternstreams @ColneCAN @WaterVole @HMWTBadger @Mammal_Society Fantastic!

A water vole on the #RiverVer this weekend, enjoying willow bark for breakfast. It's sights like this that spur us on to fight for our chalk stream in the face of sewage, silt, road runoff, over abstraction and a host of other unnecessary challenges.

Really fantastic news...

The have been very few water vole sightings so far this year. However, the corner of a mink raft on the #RiverVer is a regular spot for one of them!

[Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children @GreatOrmondSt]

That feeling when you absolutely love your job... 🤩 Congratulations to Poppy for her first month as our newest therapy dog volunteer!

“When all the therapy dogs come into the hospital via the main entrance they all want to turn left towards Dental, that’s because they know they get little treats, its so funny to watch!” ~ Jenny, GOSH Specialist Dental Nurse

Bailey was so excited to meet with the Dental team💙

Water vole update: our volunteers have been out checking that the mink traps are in good order on the #RiverVer. No mink captured, only the occasional brown rat false alarm!
