Here at Suffolk Owl Sanctuary, we are always happy to receive requests for corporate volunteer days. Last week the Ipswich office of Hurren and Hope recruitment consultants joined us for a full day of aviary improvements.
Two of the team scrubbing down the perches before some repair work is carried out.
The team helped by stripping out some of the smaller aviaries at SOS2, scrubbing the mesh and repainting the walls. This has freshened up the aviaries ready for our season to start in the next few weeks, and the good weather meant that the residents were returned to their living quarters the next day, as the paint had dried.

Volunteer Co-ordinatior Beckie Baradell said “It’s great to have groups join us for these volunteer days, as it allows us to carry out bigger tasks which ordinarily we would struggle to do in a short period of time. The team from Hurren and Hope did a fantastic job refurbishing our aviaries, and we would like to extend our thanks once again to them for their hard work.”
Scrubbing down the mesh from the inside is a regular task but made easier with a group of people.
