Today we are celebrating Cassidy, Kyoko, Carolyn and Barry (that’s a mouthful!) What’s better than one volunteer, well four of course! Thank you for everything that you do, your hard work does not go unnoticed 💕
What a day today has turned out to be. The sun’s been bestowing her rays upon us to provide us with much-needed warmth. Not only that but our lovely volunteers extended their kindness towards us, and for that, we are ever more grateful.
Today we are celebrating Ruth and Ro, two of our dedicated Volunteers. We thank you for your hard work and dedication to our mission. You strengthen our belief that there is a kinder world for all out there and we will never give up. Continue reading

This week we are celebrating a passionate and hard-working group of people – our volunteers. At Edgar’s Mission, it’s all (farm) hands on deck. With over 450 residents here, it takes more than a few hands to feed, clean and provide the utmost best in care for them all. Each day this week we’ll be featuring one (or two) of our lovely, hard-working and much valued volunteers. Today we have Deanne and Sharan, awesome works guys – we love you! Continue reading
Have you heard of Vollie? It’s an online platform that connects charities with skilled volunteers, and right now we’re uploading some projects. We’re so excited to have the opportunity to connect with passionate and compassionate people all around the country and get through some projects, giving us more time to advocate for the animals so near and dear to us.
So far we’ve submitted projects seeking graphic designers and a photographer, please find our projects here.
Yesterday was International Volunteer Day. With a theme of #GlobalApplause we bring our hands together in appreciation for all the tireless efforts of our amazing volunteers to keep our sanctuary beautiful, clean and safe for her many residents and for ensuring everyone has plenty of belly rubs. You guys and gals are awesome.

Each day throughout this week we shall feature some of our amazing, tireless and dedicated guys and gals. Find out what volunteering means to our amazing Camille.
“Hello! My name is Camille, I’m from France and I’m volunteering at Edgar’s Mission five days a week for five months.
I love this place because everyone is really respectful and loving with animals, everyone is just really nice. Volunteering here made me learn a lot about animals, and also about veganism. Like a lot of people, I didn’t really know what it was like to be vegan and why people wanted to be vegan (especially when you were born and raised in a country that loves cheese!) Living surrounded by vegans almost every day has changed my way of seeing things. It made me really aware of the injustice of the lives we give to animals, when all they deserve is love.

Each day throughout this week we shall feature some of our amazing, tireless and dedicated guys and gals. Find out what volunteering means to our amazing Charlton.
“Hi, my name is Charlton. I’m Sonia’s better half. Well I’m 28 years old, love working with my hands, that is why I’m in a trade, and I’m pretty good looking. You can ask Julian [Volunteer Coordinator], he will confirm on the good looking part. As you can also tell I like to have a bit of fun as I believe life is meant to be. Continue reading
Each day throughout this week we shall feature some of our amazing, tireless and dedicated guys and gals. Find out what volunteering means to our amazing Amanda Penrose.
“I’m Amanda Penrose. I’m about to graduate from Uni with a BA of photography, and so I now have my own pet photography business with my sidekick (dog) Saff by my side. But if you’d like to turn it into a vegan dating profile, you can also slip in that I like long walks on the beach! Continue reading
Each day throughout this week we shall feature some of our amazing, tireless and dedicated guys and gals. Find out what volunteering means to our amazing Rosemary Moore.
“I first encountered Edgar’s Mission five years ago and fell in love immediately. I’m lucky to have flexibility in my work hours and live just an hour’s drive from the farm, which means I currently can spend a day a week volunteering there.
Edgar’s Mission is a truly beautiful place. It’s a place of sanctuary for the animals who live there, as well as a gentle and influential educator on behalf of all farmed animals. It’s also a kind of sanctuary for those of us who feel angry but helpless in the face of so much animal exploitation and neglect. At Edgar’s, your anger can transform into useful activity.

This week is National Volunteer Week and to volunteers everywhere we salute you!!
With it’s theme give happy, live happy, we share with you some stories of the personal journeys our wonderful volunteers have made while contributing to Edgar’s Mission. The first in our series is from Sonia.
“My name is Sonia, my partner Charlton and I have been volunteering at Edgars for nearly a year now and it’s been absolutely amazing! I love travelling – I believe it’s one of life’s most valuable teachers. We just came back from a dream trip to East Africa and were lucky enough to see mountain gorillas and the Big 5! Would definitely consider myself a Wanderluster. Continue reading
It’s volunteer week, May 11-17!
With it’s theme give happy, live happy, we share with you some stories of the personal journeys our wonderful volunteers have made while contributing to Edgar’s Mission. The first in our series is from our Italian friend Lorenzo. English is not Lorenzo’s first language and he asked if we would edit his story because of this, but we couldn’t. Lorenzo’s beautiful heart shines so brightly we could never improve his sentiment and after reading his piece we are sure you will agree kindness speaks all languages.
“For many thousands of years our society has built itself, step after step, on the blood, the pain, the struggle and the despair of countless animal beings. Being a volunteer at Edgar’s Mission, to me, it means to apologise to each one of those animal beings. Continue reading
