Volunteering 2020
This has been an interesting year, to say the least. We've been counting our blessings that Freshleaf seems to operate just as well with us all at home as it does when we're in the office, but the...
At Montacute again
Last year we didn't quite manage to achieve all of our volunteering goals - the weather and our workload conspired against us - so this year we've made a strong start early on with a second...
Volunteering on the allotment

Down at the farm: team volunteering @ Future Roots
Unlike the last time we took part in some farm-based volunteering, the weather was kind to us yesterday when we all ventured into the wilds of north Dorset to Rylands Farm, the home of the Future...

We’re delighted, honoured and a little surprised to have been chosen as one of the finalists for the forthcoming Dorset Business Awards. The prestigious awards showcase leading companies in Dorset...
A day at the farm
It might not be where you’d expect to find web developers, but High Mead Farm was our destination last week for a spot of volunteering. High Mead is an amazing place – a working farm community...
