We do not receive any Local Authority funding or statutory grants, so we have to rely almost entirely upon special appeals and charitable donations to help with our running costs. Each year we ask Charitable Trusts, companies and other organisations to help. In addition, we receive money from individuals and from fund-raising events.

Capital projects have to be funded separately; in 2004, we received a Community Fund Lottery grant for a major building project and most recently HSBC Bank and Children in Need have given capital sums which are going towards the refurbishment of our indoor playbarn.

We also have a team of volunteers who help with driving, general work around the Farm and with the animals, go on walks with the children, join in with activities, and organise events.

We welcome any help, practical or financial; on the left, you will find some of the ways that you could support Dodford Children's Holiday Farm.
