There are many ways in which you can help. We have various fundraising schemes in place to which will generate funds for the running of the horses, ponies and donkeys in our care.
See below for some great ideas for raising valuable funds for Bransby
Any support is always greatly appreciated!
Ways to help
Sponsored Event
A sponsored ……….walk, ride, run and I am sure you can think of lots more! You could get your school or place of work involved. You can request a sponsor form by clicking on the following link or by requesting one from the office.
Visiting Us
We are open to the public seven days a week from 10am to 4pm. Admission and parking is FREE. There are ample parking facilities beside a picnic area, educational room and gift shop and tea room. Click here for directions.
Adopt a pony
You might not be a horse owner but we have something that is close enough! You can adopt one of our horses, ponies, donkeys or even a mule! You will receive a certificate bearing your name and it will be valid for one year. Plus also you will receive two updates a year which is published in our Bransby Life newsletter. For more info click here to see our Adoption Scheme page.
Shopping All the profit from the items sold online and from our mail order catalogue will go directly to the care of all the animals at Bransby and Stoke Prior. Click here to go to our online shop.
Collection Boxes
Everyone has the odd loose change from the bottom of your pockets or even in your handbag so why not request one of our free cardboard collection boxes and see how much you can collect from your pocket change and support the cause.
If you have or work in a business that would like a plastic counter top collection box, then of course we would be more than happy to supply you with one.
Remember all those pennies soon add up and will make a difference!
Phone 01427 788464 to ask for a collection box.
eBay
We have joined forces with eBay and Mission Fish and we are now selling items on eBay to raise funds. To maximise the potential to generate the highest price for each item donated we will sell items on eBay to reach a wider market. Another way is for you to sell items and then donate a percentage to Bransby. This can be anything from 10% to 100%. Also when you purchase items you can donate at the point of checkout. You will be surprised what you will find if you have a spring clean!!
Raffle Tickets Each year we hold a Grand Christmas Draw and at a cost of only 50p per ticket. You could sell them to your friends and colleagues. Tickets are available from September.
Phone 01427 788464 to find out about raffle tickets or email to request books to sell.

Used Postage Stamps A fantastic way to raise funds for the Home. The majority of the time we simple over look them however it’s the most popular fundraising scheme we have currently.
Simple cut off the postage stamp from the used envelope, but being careful that you don’t cut the stamp, and once you have a small collection simply pop them in an envelope to us.
Last year we raised over £8000!! Maybe you could ask your friends and colleagues to collect them – the more the merrier!!
Please send used stamps to the address below in the base bar of the page.

We also collect Phone Cards, Tea Cards, Cigarette cards and Postcards (new, old, used and unused).
