We are seeking someone who could support the charity to keep the grounds wonderful for the ducks and our volunteers.
We are set across approx 2.5 acres and the majority of this is occupied by our ducks. Within this space we also have a number of very old fruit tress. We also have a growing tunnel and fruit tunnel.
The kinds of activities we need help with are;
- Keeping the nettles and blackberry bushes down in our pens
- Trimming back the fruit trees
- Growing fruit and vegetables for the animals
- Collecting the fruit and vegetables
- General gardening and grounds keeping
There are lots of things to get involved with and whilst you need to be physically fit, the role can be adapted to suit your abilities.

About Sallys Duck Rescue
Sally’s Duck Rescue is charitable rescue and sanctuary based in Marshland St James helping ducks and other waterfowl of all shapes and sizes. We specialise in providing sanctuary and a forever home for disabled and less abled ducks. We started from our back garden about 5 years ago and it grew from there. There are so many ducks that need help, we just want to give them the happiest life.
We believe all ducks have the right to life, and so a vital part of our duck rescue provides disabled, less able, or elderly ducks with a forever home as part of our sanctuary. Our aim is to give them a free and happy life whilst they are with us and provide them with the respite, palliative care, or medication they need to keep them well whilst they live out the rest of their days
Our rescue is funded and run day to day by husband and wife team, Sally and Tim. We also have some amazing volunteers who are committed to helping at the duck and waterfowl rescue but we are always looking for more.
