Hi guys.
Just thought i'd post this in here and see if any of you clever lot have any ideas to help us.
As you know, we run an animal shelter - and we are trying to set it up as an animal education and resource centre - to teach young people all about the needs of their pets (discourage people from getting pets without thinking it through) and to help people to look after their pets better (including support for when it all goes wrong).
We have been running it from my house for the last couple of years, but now the council have told us that we need to stop (or get taken to court). The other premises that we had found now seems to have fallen through leaving us homeless.
We need to find an area of land (or a small holding would be great) as cheap as possible and as close to my house as possible (so that I can get there first thing in the morning, and last thing at night and still be able to do the school run with the kids).
I have had a look online, and one of our trustees Louise Trencher) has spoken to some estate agent types that sort out farmland - but we keep drawing a blank - I'm so worried that after everything we have been through, this could be the end of the project. It all seems so hopeless - has anybody got any ideas at all, for things that we could try, or avenues to explore? We will consider anything at this stage.
