About

We are facing one of our toughest financial years yet with costs rising and income becoming harder and harder to gain, funders are pausing their giving and we're well aware of the cost of living struggles our visitors are facing. As such we're forecasting an overall loss and will need to dip into our emergency reserves to cover costs.

Following the recent storms we've been further impacted! Storm Bert caused significant damage to our pony stable and yard shelter, while Storm Darragh meant we had to scale back our Christmas Fair fundraiser resulting in a significant loss of income.

We are urgently asking for your help to raise a minimum of £5,000. We need £2,250 to cover the cost of a new stable roof so Kiera our pony can move out of temporary accommodation and back to her warm stable, this will also improve the whole block so we'll be storm proof for the rest of Winter! The funds will also cover the repair to the yard shelter for all the goats. Our target of £5,000 will also help raise more income to mitigate the loss of over £3,000 income which is usually raised at our Christmas Fair!

If you can give any contribution we will be hugely grateful! All donations go straight to the day-to-day running costs of the Farm and enable us to stay open and free for all to benefit. Thank you :)
