FUNDRAISING

Thank you for visiting the fundraising section of the Veteran Horse Welfare. We have
several schemes and campaigns on the go, some of which are completely free to
use. The schemes we have signed up to have been carefully sourced to give an
important ‘drip feed revenue’ and also supply the charity with free marketing
materials, so the money raised by you, our supporters, goes directly to the care and
welfare of the Veterans at the centre in Pembrokeshire. Your money also helps to
keep our free helpline for advice, support and counselling service going.

Recycle, Benefit your Environment
Raise Funds for our Charity

Please donate your unwanted Gold, Silver, Costume Jewellery and Watches

We have come up with a simple way for you to help boost the much needed funds of our charity and benefit your environment. We are running an unwanted Jewellery Recycling Collection.

Please donate any unwanted jewellery towards this recycling appeal; gold, silver, costume jewellery, watches… Then all your unwanted items can be turned into a donation for us.

You can do a full "spring clean" of your jewellery box or just give items you no longer wear. Even damaged, broken and incomplete items will help; so all the odd earrings and snapped chains are a great start!

To send your jewellery to us:

Parcel up your jewellery and post free of charge to:

RECYCLING

If you can, please ask your family, friends and colleagues to participate in this Jewellery Recycling Collection.

Why should I recycle? Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials. This means less mining or quarrying. Many parts of the world have been blighted by mining and quarrying, which destroy the natural environment and wildlife habitats and can cause environmental and health problems for local people. Recycling is one way in which our community can lessen their usage of resources and help protect the environment. Everything you give us is turned into cash for us, recycled and put to good use!

Thank you very much for your support

10 most asked questions about fund raising.

send you a full fund raising pack.

A. The staff at head office, will give you all the help you need.  To begin with make enquiries about a good venue and always ensure
you address health and safety.
