Throughout the year there are many different ways to show your support for people with learning disabilities.

From one-off appeals to fund crucial projects, to sponsorship and corporate support – there are so many rewarding ways to help break down the barriers facing people in their lives.

Big Give 2024: Kick start my life!

The ‘Kick start my life’ Big Give fundraiser ran in December to help young people with learning disabilities get the support they need to kick start a fulfilling life of employment, friendships and purpose.

Over £40,000 was raised to kick start this important work. Check the page for updates as people start benefitting from these kind donations.

Animal sponsorship

Our animal care sessions run daily, and people with learning disabilities gain so many skills and confidence from them.

But it takes nearly £4,000 a year to support our animals, providing them with care and the equipment they need.

By sponsoring an animal like Alfie the donkey, or Mocha the goat, your donation will directly benefit our animals and the people who support them.

Sponsor a tree at Furzey Gardens

Around every corner at Furzey there is a beautiful tree awaiting your sponsorship.

Dedicate one of our fine specimens in memory of a loved one, to celebrate a new birth, or to commemorate that special someone.

Sponsor a tree for a lasting legacy in the gardens, in memory of someone loved, or just because you enjoy visiting the gardens.

Sponsor a seat at Hanger Farm

Do you have a favourite seat at Hanger Farm where you have experienced laughter, joy and memories with loved ones?

From just £75 you can exclusively sponsor your chosen seat to leave a personal dedication in our theatre.

Your seat sponsorship will enable us to keep growing Hanger Farm, to host more affordable entertainment to delight you and your family, as well as continuing our vital work supporting people with learning disabilities.
