Fundraise
for us

Helping us to raise the money we need to secure better lives for horses and ponies can be a great source of fun in your leisure time.

Knowing you’re helping bring about change for the better, helps make you feel good and that you are part of a valuable team effort. We know – because we have first-hand experience!

Many of our Trustees are very experienced fundraisers – their sterling effort since our launch in 2020, has thankfully kept us solvent so far.

If you are keen to help us raise the all-important funds needed to carry on our essential work – we thank you!

Before you start on your project on our behalf, please click the button below and complete the Registration Form.

We will then, be there for you at the end of the telephone, to give advice and support for your activity as and when needed.

All efforts on behalf of Here4Horses will be sincerely appreciated.

How can you help?

Although we have received very generous donations from some of the Trustees themselves, it is amazing how many small events, like a Coffee Morning raising around £60 and a collection of £175 at a WI Speaker Evening have helped bring us to this point.
These relatively small amounts will be key to our continued success – as every little really does help!
The fundraising events you could organise and undertake are many and varied – it all depends on what interests you have and how much of a challenge you wish to set yourself.

Remember, it’s your leisure time and therefore very important that it is fun!
The Here4Horses team are always on hand to offer advice and to help you decide on the best idea for an event.

Some starter ideas for you

  • Hand knit hats, gloves and other items to sell
  • Take part in a sponsored walk, run, cycle or pleasure ride or if you like a real challenge run a marathon or climb a mountain
  • Run a cake stall at a school event or at work
  • Raise some bedding plant or vegetable seedlings to sell
  • Organise a tombola, bake off competition or prize quiz at your place of work

Bigger challenges include

  • Organise a bucket collection at your local supermarket or
  • Run a local show, village event, quiz or race night.

We are here to help you with whatever activity you choose – simply contact us to discuss your proposal.

Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding has been used for centuries in various forms but is a relatively new concept as an internet based fundraising practice. It is now an important way for charities like ours to reach a wider audience and raise money.

You could consider using a Crowdfunding platform yourself to raise money for us. You can also go directly online to get your event information out to your friends and family in a way that is quick and efficient. It also makes use of links on your social media and those of the people you are sharing it with.

You can Crowdfund for one of our individual ponies or talk to us to discuss projects that particularly matter to you.

This method of raising funds removes the need to find a process to collect money. It can also be a good way to encourage people to sign up for Gift Aid which saves charities like ours from paying tax on the money people donate.

You can also run a fundraiser online using our chosen partner, People’s Fundraising. 

There are a number of different fundraising options such as raffles and tombolas or you could just fundraise for an event you have organised or are taking part in.

Sign up here and start your very own Online Fundraiser on behalf of Here4Horses.

Online shopping is yet another great way to help fundraise for Here4Horses.

Sign up to ‘Easy Fundraising’ and turn your everyday online shopping into FREE donations to your chosen charity.

With over 8,000 of your favourite brands taking part – such as eBay, John Lewis, Argos, NEXT and Booking.com and many more, there are so many ways for you to turn your online shopping into a significant fundraising opportunity for us.

The retailers you shop with, make a small donation to say ‘thank you’ and then Easy Fundraising gives those free funds to Here4Horses.

Plus, once you’ve signed up and raised £5 in donations, Easy Fundraising will generously give Here4Horses an extra £5 donation!

We love that there’s no catch or hidden charges, it’s just an amazingly simple way to be charitable and support Here4Horses – we will be hugely grateful for your donations.
