Fundraise for Ferne

Could you do something to raise money for us?

Fundraising is a great way to help support Ferne. Every penny raised helps us to continue to provide a vital safety net to animals in need. Animals, who through no fault of their own find themselves in need of a helping hand, some care and attention and a safe, loving home.

But it’s not just about raising money. It is about your personal achievement, which we want to celebrate alongside you, it’s about inspiring others and of course raising awareness of a cause close to your heart.

What can you do?

There are so many things you can do to help raise money. This could be online – from fitness challenges of all shapes and sizes, to quizzes or selling items on ebay and nominating Ferne to receive a percentage of the sale. Or perhaps a cake sale, a sporting challenge, car wash day or a dress up or dress down day for your school or office!

We’d love to hear any ideas you have and are here to support you to make them happen!

Skydiving – something you have always wanted to do? Now’s your chance!

We love seeing our fearless fundraisers take on incredible challenges, including those who have courageously thrown themselves out of aeroplanes in an attempt to raise vital money for the animals here at the Sanctuary. You can also achieve the highest possible skydive without an oxygen supply when you sign up to one of our Charity event days. There’s always room to join our other fantastic fundraisers on the day. You can jump for free if you fundraise for us first. All you need to do is raise a minimum of £395 for Ferne and the aeroplane door awaits!

Our next charity skydive event will be on Saturday the 8th of June 2024, 12pm arrival time. You can book your place HERE, or If you would like more information, please do get in contact with our Fundraising team on 01460 65214, or by email.

Visit the Skydive Buzz website here for more information on charity skydives.
