Electricity workers serve breakfast to 100 rescue goats in Kent

Running a busy breakfast service for 100 rescue goats was all in a day’s work for power workers who swapped the office for Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats.

UK Power Networks’ volunteers lent a hand at the UK's only registered charity dedicated exclusively to the welfare and rescue of goats in Wierton Park, Boughton Monchelsea.

Over two days, electricity teams mucked out stables, swept, laid bedding, topped up hay and water, unloaded hay deliveries, moved a fence, painted sheds and met the goats. Evangeline Uttley, who organised the first team from UK Power Networks, said: “It was a fantastic day and unlike anything I’d expected. All the goats have been abandoned or rescued from places where they weren’t safe or were treated badly.

“Every goat has a name and staff know everything about them. Each goat has a specific diet and receives what it needs. The goats were so interested in what we were doing so it was an unusual environment to work in andsuch a rewarding day.”
