Please Help With our Wish List For Our Horse Feed & Yard Supplies

Blairlusk Equine Supplies near Gartocharn have very kindly set up a wish list for us on their website. They will deliver all items that you purchase from them to us once a month. If you would like to order anything then please use the following link and it can be added to our delivery – https://www.blairluskequinesupplies.co.uk/lamont-farm-project.

We are in desperate need of these items and each month, with your help and generosity, Blairlusk Equine Supplies can help make sure we are fully stocked. This would make such a huge difference to our charity.

Thank you so much to everyone that has ordered so far, your continuing support makes all the difference to our wee Farm 😊.

Your Committee Needs You!

We are appealing now for new members to join the current Committee for the Farm. This entails attending one meeting via Zoom or WhatsApp every 4-6 weeks, and to help out with events and fundraisers throughout the year. We’d love to hear from you and, if you feel that you have the time, please get in touch by sending a message via Messenger to our Facebook page. Thanks

Fire Damage Fundraising Appeal

In the early hours of Friday 31 March 2023 the Farm suffered a deliberate arson attempt on its Cabin at our entrance gate. We are gutted beyond belief that someone would do such an awful thing 😥 We would just like to put on a very personal thanks to the Amber Watch from Clydebank Fire Station, who attended on Friday morning, and who undoubtedly saved the effects of the fire from being so much worse.

We are trying very hard to raise money to help recover from this devastating act. Our raffle is still on the go at only £1 per ticket and we have some lovely items that have been donated as prizes. Please help in any way you can.

We also have a Go Fund Me page set up for our Fire Damage Fundraising Appeal, if anyone would prefer to donate to that. We have been totally overwhelmed by the response we’ve had so far from the local community. We can’t believe how much support everyone has given us and we really are so very grateful for this. All donations to our appeal can be made here. Thank you!

New Fundraising Auction up and running from today!

We have just started a new Auction to help raise vital funds for the Farm. Please watch out for more items being added to the Auction over the coming days to our Facebook page here.

The winning bidder for each item will be notified on Saturday (11/3/23) and they will have 24 hours to make payment. If no payment is received within 24 hours the item will then go to the next highest bidder.

If anyone wishes to put in a bid privately, please PM us with what the item it is and what your highest bid would be. We can then bid on your behalf (in case anyone wants to bid on an item as a gift without the whole of Facebook knowing lol 😂).

Christmas 2022 Fundraising Prize Draw

We have a new fabulous fundraising prize draw running from now until 16th December that offers a smashing wee boost for the winners before Christmas. It costs only £2 per number to take part in our one-off 50/50 draw, with 50% of the takings going to prize winners and 50% going to the Farm. We have 1000 numbers up for grabs and you can buy as many numbers as you like! Please note that this draw is entirely separate from our monthly 200 Club draw.

You can pay by PayPal, bank transfer or by cash at the Farm. If all numbers are sold then that’s a whopping £500 first prize for the winner 💷💷😁 There are also four other prizes of £250, £150, and 2 x £50 prizes to be won. All final prize money will be paid on a pro-rata basis, dependent on the total number of tickets sold. Who couldn’t use a nice cash boost before Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

So tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone you know to buy a number (or numbers, remember there’s no limit on how many you can buy!). To purchase any numbers please send us a PM telling us how many numbers you would like, how you wish to pay, your contact telephone number and we can sort out the rest 😁 Remember you can only win it if you’re in it!

Thank you for your support at our Open Day

We’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who came to our Open Day yesterday. The turnout was huge and we are really overwhelmed by the support everyone showed for the Farm. A huge thank you goes to all of the stall holders that came along, we hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. Daisy the cow certainly had fun 😊

We’d also like to give a special mention to Ally Bally’s Bouncy Castles, who very kindly donated the use of the bouncy castle and candy floss machine. They have been supporting the Farm by donating these stalls for so many years now and this makes the world of difference to our open days!
