Donating
We understand that this time of year really is tight for everyone, but we are still appealing for your help! If you can spare even just £1, we now have over 5500 followers on the page – if even half could donate £1, or even just 50p, it would go a long way towards ensuring the survival of Lamont Farm. We receive minimal grants from other bodies, so really do rely on donations to continue to meet all running costs and continue to care for the wide variety of animals here on the Farm.
The cost of everything is increasing, food/bedding/electricity/gas amongst some of the major costs, and we also have large vet bills that need to be paid. Can you help? Please donate what you can, every little really does help!
You can donate by paypal (lamontfarmproject@gmail.com), bank transfer (please PM us to be sent details), cash if you pop into the Farm or cheque (made payable to Lamont Farm Project). Or does your workplace fundraise for a nominated charity? Why not see if they could do a fundraiser for Lamont Farm!
You can also pay money directly towards our vet bill, please PM us if you would like details on how to do this.
Many thanks!
Can you help us with our maintenance work?
The maintenance work at the farm is never-ending so we are always looking for help from anyone who is willing to donate their time and skills.
If there are any colleges that need an on-site training ground for up and coming joiners, plumbers, electricians; then Lamont Farm is the place for you!! Examples of some of the work done previously are –
-
Two lean-to’s built.
-
The lights looked at in the main barn.
-
Showerwall put up in the ladies toilet.
-
A window put in the barn.
This could also be a good opportunity for any building/plumbing firms for on-site training for apprentices!!?? Or if you just want to donate your time, any help will be much appreciated. 🙂
Please contact the farm on 0141 812 5335 , email us at farm@lamontfarm.plus.com or send us a message via our Facebook page if you can help.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Kind hearted Gardener required
We are looking for a kind hearted Gardener to come and strim our weeds. We will pay for any for any petrol used by your strimmer and keep you supplied with cups of tea. We know from past experience that a domestic strimmer is no use for this job, so we really need a self-employed gardener or a Company to do this work for us. If you can help please call us on 0141 812 5335, email us at farm@lamontfarm.plus.com or message us on our Facebook Page. Thankyou.
Big thanks to Saint-Gobain!!
Saint-Gobain Building Division have awarded the farm £10,000 worth of building materials, as part of their ‘Nominate to Renovate’ 350 Years celebrations; and we can’t thank them enough – especially the animals!!!
Thanks to all of you that voted for us to receive the award 🙂
Now the hard work begins and we might be calling on some of you for help!!
🙂 🙂 🙂
Farm updates
We are looking for new people to join the Lamont Farm Committee. If you feel that you have the time to commit to this then please PM for further information.
We are looking for people that will actively be involved with the continual fundraising and other tasks/decisions that will ensure the Farm can continue to run for many years to come, and interviews will be conducted by the Chairperson. You don’t necessarily have to be experienced in a committee role, but have the time to give to helping the project in any way possible.
