February Update 🗓️

This was a significant month for our support. At £218 donated, this was our second biggest month ever in terms of contributions. We were amazingly able to support 7️⃣ people in our town who needed help! Thank you for your acts of #solidarity.

what brings the veggie/vegan boys to the yard?
just because milkshakes once brought the boys to the yard does not mean milkshakes are the most potent boy-bringing bait. what the boys truly crave is a hearty beef stew
