From Rain to Reward – Thank You for Helping Us Raise £2,388.67 at West Moors FarmFest!
What a day! Even with the skies opening up, the energy, joy, and generosity at this year’s West Moors FarmFest were nothing short of incredible. We’re so excited to share that, thanks to your support, we raised a brilliant £2,388.67 — and the impact of that total will go far beyond one day of celebration.
Building Our Next Hen House – Creating Real Work Opportunities
The majority of the funds — 80% of the total raised — will go directly towards building a brand-new hen house at Gullivers. This isn’t just about adding more hens; it’s about creating meaningful daily work for the people we support.
With the new hen house, adults with varying support needs will take part in every stage of the process:
Feeding and caring for the hens
Collecting and packaging eggs
Recording daily routines
Delivering eggs to our farm shop
Selling fresh eggs to customers
This start-to-finish routine will provide valuable opportunities for skill development, confidence-building, and supported independence. It’s a chance for people to feel proud of their contribution to our community and be part of something lasting.
Giving Back – Supporting Believe Performing Arts
We’re also delighted to announce that 20% of the money raised (£477.73) is being donated to our amazing local charity partner, Believe Performing Arts.
Believe Performing Arts is dedicated to helping children and young people of all abilities build confidence, express themselves, and find their voice through performance and movement. We’re proud to support their incredible work — and your ticket, donation, or purchase helped make that happen!
You Made It Happen – Rain Couldn’t Stop the Joy
Whether you danced in your wellies, browsed the stalls, watched a Punch and Judy show, cheered on the main stage performances, or simply came for the community spirit — we couldn’t have done it without you. FarmFest is about connection, celebration, and giving back — and you made all of that possible.
