Supporter engagement

How we work with you

Our supporter engagment team is here to work closely with you, whether you’re a donor, volunteer, or sponsor, guiding you through your charitable journey.

Sponsors

We’ll work with you to identify a sponsorship opportunity that aligns with your organisation’s values and culture, ensuring it has a meaningful impact. From there, we’ll make sure your contributions are recognised in ways that suit your level of support, including (depending on sponsorship tier):

  • A press release
  • Social media ‘shout outs’
  • E-news announcement to our subscribers
  • Inclusion on our sponsors and supporters web page
  • Family tickets to the Rare Breeds Centre
  • A banner in our pig racing track
  • Signage at the sponsorship area

We are also happy to arrange a tour of our services as needed.

Trusts & foundations

As a foundation, you’re looking for a way to make a lasting impact with your support. We’re here to help you achieve that. By working together, we’ll ensure your funding is used effectively, creating real change in the areas that matter most to you.

We’ll provide you with inspiring impact reports you can share with your trustees, demonstrating the value of your contributions. And, as a dedicated team, we’re able to be highly responsive, offering a personal touch and swift communication. This allows us to adapt quickly to your needs and ensure a smooth, collaborative partnership.

Volunteers

We’ll help you find a volunteering opportunity you’ll love, provide all the training you need, and offer ongoing guidance to help you make a real impact and achieve your personal goals along the way.

Whether you’re passionate about conservation, eager to help with farm or accommodation maintenance, or excited to support our life skills students, we offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities that let you make a real difference.
