Sponsor an Animal

Guinea pigsFrom only £5 a month, you can make a difference and help us to care for our animals in our farm and allow us to continue providing a unique learning opportunity for our children.

 
What you will receive

Once you have signed up to donate £5 a month, you will receive the following:

  • An adoption certificate and welcome pack
  • A photo of your chosen animal
  • Birthday and Christmas cards from your new friend
  • 2 opportunities to visit your animal throughout the year
  • Your name displayed on our designated sponsor board in the barn
  • An e-newsletter to keep you updated with the goings on at the farm
     

Bearded dragonHow your sponsorship helps

At Daisy Chain, we believe animals are a great tool to encourage interaction and stimulation for children affected by autism, many of whom struggle to develop relationships, even with members of their own families. 

We desperately need to increase our funding to meet the all year round demands on animal care services. Feeding, keeping our animals healthy and caring for them is important to us. Your sponsorship goes toward the costs of feed, husbandry and veterinary care for one of our animals.

Shetland PonyBy sponsoring an animal and supporting Daisy Chain, you are enriching the lives of the people affected by autism who access our services. Children can hold animals in the petting barn, get involved in feeding and grooming them as well as making sure their pens and living environments are kept tidy. This is a unique learning opportunity through what is often their first time interacting with animals.

Sponsorship of our animals also makes an excellent gift, and we have many different animals for you to choose from!

How do I sign up?

It couldn't be easier - simply download our Sponsor an Animal application form and return it to us here at Daisy Chain.
