It seems a while since the antics of Welly Fest now, but it’s certainly a day I’ll never forget. It was such a fun filled day and a real showcase of what Involvement actually is!

We always hear mention of animals at our Network Round Robins; from Armadillos to Racehorses and everything in between! We love animals here at the Yorkshire and Humber Involvement Network and hearing stories of how pat dogs, pet guinea pigs and other furry (or not) friends bring you happiness and joy.
