Wonderful to speak with @PenFarthing this morning about his charity, Nowzad, and their new shop in North Devon. The work they’re doing is truly remarkable, making a real difference for animals and communities.

Last night, I had the privilege of joining @DsrtTavistock on their Wednesday training session. Pleasure to meet the volunteers who give their time to help others. The rescue team receives no government funding and relies on donations. Article coming out later this week. #dartmoor
