About

Surrey Docks Farm's Youth Committee are leading a fundraising campaign to build a new large ferret enclosure so we can care for ferrets on the Farm again!

The Youth Committee are holding two fundraising events and have carried out their own offline fundraising alongside this page. We've added their offline fundraising to the total raised.

Once the new ferret housing is built, we'll be able to take on two or three new ferrets to live here on the Farm. The ferrets will be cared for by the young people in our core youth programme on the weekends as well as our volunteers, work experience students and adults with learning disabilities on weekdays. The children in our programmes will enjoy learning about ferrets, taking them for walks around the Farm, feeding and mucking them out, taking them to animal competitions and shows and learning about their behaviour. In addition visitors can come to the Farm every day of the week for free, to meet and observe the ferrets here.

The Farm's youth team made a film 'Go Ferret!' showing one of our previous ferrets being walked around the Farm during the first lockdown, which was shared as part of our adapted digital engagement offer. Click here to watch!
