Meet the team
Rabbit Residence Rescue is lucky to have such dedicated staff and volunteers!
Caroline Collings
Caroline founded the rescue (see our page on how the rescue began) and is also one of our three trustees. We have been extremely lucky that Caroline is always on hand to offer support and advice despite no longer working for the rescue herself as she focuses on her young son, Theo and running her own business, Rabbit Rambles.
Sue Kent
Sue regularly travels over two hours in order to volunteer at the rescue and is also one of our trustees, she helps Lea with the mountains of paperwork involved with running the charity.
Lea Facey
Lea began volunteering at the rescue several years ago, starting out with cleaning hutches and fundraising then taking on many other tasks such as being in charge of new intakes and rehoming as the need arose. Lea is also one of the three trustees. Lea has managed the rescue on a voluntary basis since the birth of Caroline's son, Theo alongside her full time job.
Laura Middlemass
Laura recently joined the rescue as one of our animal care assistants. Laura is devoted to the bunnies, particularly little Bumblebee, Laura also helps with fundraising, photographing the rabbits and manages the rescues Instagram account.
Paige Everdeen
Paige started off as a volunteer, we then offered her a position as a part-time animal care assistant in 2017. Paige definitely deserves a medal as she turned up day after day to take care of the rabbits in thick snow when no one else could get to the rescue.
Claire O’Malley
Claire joined us in July 2019 as a part-time animal care assistant, she is passionate about rabbit welfare and has spent the last four years working as a rehomer for the small animal and field section in a large charity. Claire loves to forage for the rabbits and will be making the rescue it’s own bunny garden!
Gary Sherin
Gary has volunteered at the rescue for many years and is our ace photographer, he's also been an amazing foster dad to many of the rescues rabbits.
Cheryl Bullock
Cheryl has volunteered at the rescue for several years and can be found helping out on site most weekends as well as making lots of lovely rabbit themed items to sell at our fundraising events.
Lynda Martin
Lynda volunteers at the rescue every Friday and also helps at fundraising events too as well as helping Lea organise our successful Facebook auctions. Lynda also assists the rescue in applying for grants. Lynda is also a member of the rescues committee.
Helen & Graeme Joslin
Graeme is our handy man that can, with out him the rescue would literally be falling down around our ears! theres nothing Graeme cannot mend or build from our meagre resources. Helen regularly volunteers on site, often donating lots of tasty treats for the bunnies and is also a member of the rescues committee.
Derek Collings
Derek's help is vital in keeping the rescue afloat. Derek helps us claim back VAT amongst many other chores such as taking the laundry to be washed and trimming back hedges on site.
Andrew Ball
Andrew is part of our behind the scenes team, he's definitely someone we couldn't survive without as he deals with the rescues accounts and wages.
Heather Pointer
Heather runs the rescues sponsorship scheme and also designs our calendars and our greetings cards.
