🐑 Cuddle overload! 🐑
We're still reminiscing about our visit last week with the team at Lamb Care Australia!

As you can tell from the photos, Celina and Blaz were absolutely in their element getting the sweetest cuddles with the rescued lambs! 📸🥰

A huge thank you to Kym and Briannagh for having us over, and for showing us firsthand how our grant funding is making a real difference. From essential feed and bottles to vital vet care, the work their carers do across Victoria is truly incredible.

We are so proud to support this amazing, volunteer-led organisation! 💚
