by Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary in Wells, Somerset, United Kingdom
New stretch target
We are aiming to raise £1000 for the August Field Fund. This would be a MASSIVE step towards our goal, and give us a leg up in getting the field ready for use.
Of course, there is no upper limit to this campaign, as every single penny can always be put to immediate good use in the work that we do for the animals!
WHO ARE WE?
Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary was created in 2018, when 3 huge pigs were saved from death. Since then we have grown into a safe haven for ferrets and ducks, all the way up to huge goats and horses. We have rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed over 7,000 individuals in need, when they had nowhere else to turn to.
We are run entirely on donations, we are all volunteers, and every single penny goes towards caring for the animals that we help.
WHAT IS THE FIELD FUND?
Thanks to an incredibly kind loan of over £73,000, the Sanctuary has managed to purchase a local piece of land. The absolutely gorgeous 3.5 acre field will be home to some of the Sanctuary long-term residents, and means that the charity can offer a safe, secure home for life to those who need it.
Why? Owning land in the charity's name provides life-long security. It means that we can be assured that this land will always be home to the animals who need it, without the uncertainty of renting, and with every donated pound and physical improvement a permanent investment to the Sanctuary and the animals who rely on us.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO?
The field has this week become official - but the work has only just begun. We now have a huge task ahead. We must now fundraise:
- £10,000 to erect fencing to create safe paddocks within the field
- £2,000 to build 2 field shelters to keep the animals dry and cosy in bad weather
- £3,000 to purchase mud mats to create a 'yard' area to keep the animals' feet dry in wet weather
- £73,407 to pay back the money we have borrowed
HOW WILL WE DO IT?
Each month, we will run a "Field Fund" campaign, to raise donations towards this huge project.
We'll provide a running total each month of how much we have raised and where it is spent, so you can see the massive benefit your donations are having.
Help us to secure the future of ALL of the animals here at the Sanctuary.
Absolutely any pennies you can spare this month, would make a HUGE difference to the futures of ALL of the Sanctuary residents.
£10 would pay for a wooden fence post
£25 would pay for a mud mat for the new 'yard'
£50 would pay for a roll of stock fencing wire
£100 would make a valuable dent in the loan that we have been given to purchase the land
Please, make a donation today to help our goal and get our August Field Fund up and running.
From everyone feathered, fluffy and furry at Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary,
Thank you.
