by the commercial egg production sector , caring for them and then finding suitable homes where they can live out their lives in a natural environment .
Year on year the sanctuary has grown and as such , the need for additional space became a must . The 900 sq ft project , encompasses four new stable blocks and a feed store area .
Alison said : “ We are in a green belt area so needed something that would fit in with the local surroundings , and the Onduline CLASSIC sheets fitted the bill perfectly .
“ They are lightweight and easy to fit , which is important when you are doing the work yourself , and I liked the look and feel of it .

“ One of its major plus points is that it is so much quieter than metal sheeting , you can hardly hear a thing when it ’ s raining , which is so important for the animals .”
The new shelter was all built by volunteers , with Alison ’ s husband and son handcrafting the joists and rafters .
