Volunteer Natalie Bodell working at Alwood Farm Donkeys, at Upton, Wirral. Tom Tuohy runs the family business which hires out donkeys for events, functions, parties and guest appearances, such as in the arts and on television. Due to the coronavirus outbreak and lockdown restrictions, all his bookings for the foreseeable future have been cancelled and he has had to let staff go. He works every day by himself and with a couple of volunteers looking after his 20 donkeys, feeding, grooming and caring for them.<br />
