Spring is Here—Help Our City Farm Bloom!
Spring brings new life to our farm – playful lambs in our farmyard, buzzing bees in our gardens and allotments. But beyond the beauty, we are also a place of learning, growth and community connection. Thousands of children, families and young people rely on Deen City Farm for education, work experience and a chance to engage with nature.
We need your continued help to thrive into the future.
Last year was one of the toughest we’ve ever faced. Rising costs—especially from unexpected electrical problems —put our future at risk. Yet, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we persevered. Together, we were able to:
* Welcome 147,000 visitors, providing a free, open space where families and individuals could connect with nature.
* Deliver 3,100 riding lessons, 28% of which were for children aged 4-10, helping young riders build confidence and skills.
* Offer 260 work experience placements and a number of youth volunteering days, empowering young people with valuable skills.
* Educate 1,900 schoolchildren through workshops and guided experiences, inspiring the next generation to care for animals and the environment.
This impact is only possible with continued support from people like you. Your donation is an investment in our community—ensuring that families, schools and individuals have a place to learn, grow and connect with animals.
