Help keep Alderney's children growing wild

We are proud to be a registered charity (CH1047). Fees don't fully cover our running costs, so we are always incredibly grateful for people's generous support.

What your gift makes possible

Every pound goes straight into animal feed, growing, resources and family support. Here's what different amounts can do.

£15

Feeds the farm animals for a week: feed and fresh bedding.

£40

Plants a new fruit tree in our orchard.

£100

Buys tools, seeds and resources for a whole season of Forest School.

Ways to give

However suits you best

One-off donation

A single gift of any size makes an immediate difference. Give online, by bank transfer or in person at the centre.

How to donate

A small monthly gift gives us something precious: certainty. It's the steadiest way to keep the farm and our Forest School thriving.

Volunteer with us

Time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Whether you have a spare morning or a regular slot, there's always a way to help, and you'll be very welcome.

  • Forest School sessions: help our leaders run outdoor and woodland activities.
  • Lunch breaks at nursery: help serve lunch and give our team a proper break.
  • Farm tasks: feeding the animals, mucking out, planting and harvesting.
  • Gardening & upkeep: keep our grow zones, playground and grounds in good shape.
  • Events & fundraising: lend a hand at our community events and fundraisers.

No experience needed, just enthusiasm. All volunteers are DBS-checked and supported by our team.

Sponsor an animal Coming soon

For £60 a year you can sponsor one of our farm animals. You'll get a photo, a name, updates through the seasons, and the warm glow of knowing you're helping children learn to care for another living thing. It makes a brilliant present for a child, too.

Thank you

Every gift, big or small, helps an Alderney child spend their days outdoors, hands in the soil, growing into who they'll become.
