Volunteering at Holtwood
Once again, summer has passed in a blur and somehow it's autumn. During the summer months we normally try to get out for a team volunteering day locally, so heading out in October we were a bit...
Mighty Hike
Congratulations to Damien on completing the Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike yesterday - an epic half marathon hike over the hilly Dorset coastline, for McMillan Cancer Support. He completed the 21km...
Surviving in Scrubs
The NHS is one of those things that we never appreciate enough. Free healthcare at the point of delivery is something we utterly take for granted in the UK, but it's one of THE greatest things...
Volunteering at The Country Corner
It's difficult sometimes to find places for a small team to volunteer just for a day or two, so although we get a fantastic 3 volunteering days a year, we sometimes struggle to find places locally...
Volunteering 2020
This has been an interesting year, to say the least. We've been counting our blessings that Freshleaf seems to operate just as well with us all at home as it does when we're in the office, but the...
At Montacute again
Last year we didn't quite manage to achieve all of our volunteering goals - the weather and our workload conspired against us - so this year we've made a strong start early on with a second...

Helping out at Montacute school
Last week we escaped the office and spent the day getting scratched to bits by holly bushes. Why? Well that's a very good question. Here at Freshleaf, as part of our commitment to giving back,...
On the farm again: a good day's work
In our daily lives, most of us don't think about how lucky we are. We think we're having a tough day if we run out of milk or we miss the bus or the kids are whiny. But there are people in our own...
Can you help Jakob?
Jakob Sales is a youngster from Wimborne who has a severe form of cerebral palsy which has confined him to a wheelchair. In 2015 his family set out on an epic fundraising journey to raise £65,000...
Down at the farm: team volunteering @ Future Roots
Unlike the last time we took part in some farm-based volunteering, the weather was kind to us yesterday when we all ventured into the wilds of north Dorset to Rylands Farm, the home of the Future...
Winners of the Dorset Business Awards
We can hardly believe it but we’re proud to announce that Freshleaf was the winner of last night Dorset Business Awards in the “Engagement with the Community” category! The awards celebrate the...
