@PippaCrerar I’d love to see this also cover volunteers, having been the subject of a horrendous false allegation by a large Cambridge charity. An apology was issued. And then an NDA slapped on it. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever known

Great to see @MadeleinaKay and her Brexiles exhibition in Cambridge this evening 🇪🇺

Sharing this to raise awareness of what can happen if unwanted animals (here a hamster) are released into the wild. This poor baby is now fighting for her life in rescue. If anyone has an unwanted hamster, please message a local rescue or send me a DM anytime 🐹 #animalrescue

🐹 🐭 🐀 Small animal lovers - please help us work towards banning the sale of inappropriately sized enclosures and wheels. Pet shops in the UK cause so much suffering and do not comply with animal welfare advice eg from Blue Cross and Wood Green. https://t.co/2nsgHSP693

It’s a special day for Touch of Sparkle! We have now donated 6,000 care packs and 12,000 toys in total since the project began in 2015 💜
