Two Toms gathered at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary this morning to litterpick, on a lovely soggy morning.

Possibly due to staffing changeovers they were initially a bit confussled, and weren't aware of who we were or why we were there - but after after explaining a bit about GG, they managed to dig out some high vis and bin bags and we set to work.

We cleared the car park of any litter, and then cleared out the verge on either side of the entrance, generating a good few bags of rubbish removed - now a tiny bit sodden, Leanne from T.A.S made us a cup of coffee and told us about their current residents (absolutely loads of kittens currently, dogs, and a juvenile ferret called Jasper who doesn't know how to hunt, so now eats cat food) - Viewing is by appointment only in the current situation: https://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org/

She also told us about their plans to refurbish the cafe and redecorate a treatment room on site - She's taken contact details and plans to get in touch and send a few more missions requests across to GG Sheffield before too long!
