Five Ways to Help
Like many others who have been affected by the unprecedented impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the farm faces significant challenges. We need to maintain the farm, care for the animals and garden with a significantly reduced volunteer team to help reduce the transmission of Covid-19, find and establish ways of enabling people to continue to benefit from access to the farm whilst practicing social distancing and raise sufficient funds to deal with a significant loss of expected income. We would be hugely grateful for any support you can give here are five ways to help us through this crisis.
Shop from the farm
Buy your festive goodies direct from the farm
We have Christmas trees, cards, wreaths and foliage, farm made preserves, merchandise, animal sponsorship packs and stocking fillers. Click and collect or pop by for a socially distanced browse outdoors
Fundraise with our friends
Browse our virtual Winter Fair and make your orders knowing that your purchase raises funds for the farm. Or drop us a line if your feeling crafty and you'd like to join in with your own works.
Give for free
When you shop on line with Give as You Live and Amazon Smile and when you search the internet with Everyclick. Follow the links to find out more and sign up.
Support the farm with your company
Our corporate team days have been brought to a halt this year losing around £10,000 in donations and many hours of volunteer labour. We need to replace the income, have lots of shoveling to catch up with and are missing the links with our wider community. We're looking at new ways to work with businesses as we move into the new year and would love to hear from any companies that would like to buy a virtual farm tour or activity, sponsor a project, take part in small social distanced volunteer or team days this winter, commit to summer activities now or have any ideas for working together to fundraise and build involvement.
DONATE IF YOU CAN
You can donate to the farm
in person, by post, direct to our bank account or online through our localgiving campaign (we do pay a small percentage charge for this to be administered).
by purchasing an item from our wish lists with every penny helps and we're so grateful for the generosity of our supporters
