Ways to help
How you can help
Running Furever Farm is our whole lives but it can be hard work. While we always accept donations to help us manage the costs of running the farm we also welcome volunteers who want to come, visit the animals and help us build more and improved spaces for our residents, while keeping the sanctuary beautiful for the animals
Here are some of the ongoing projects we are working on, if you are able to assist with materials, expertise or time please get in touch.
Please note that some listed projects are ongoing and we could always use the help while others we will try and mobilise a work team for. If you have any questions please just let us know.
*PLEASE, IF YOU EMAIL FUREVER FARM AND HAVE NOT RECIEVED A REPLY WITHIN A WEEK, DO CHECK YOUR SPAM OR JUNK FOLDER. SOMETIMES YOUR MAIL WILL DIRECT ITSELF THERE. FUREVER FARM ALWAYS RESPLIES. YOU CAN ALSO PHONE DIRECT ON 0434 842 621.
Cleaning and feeding
This is a great opportunity to get up close with the animals, say good morning, and then sweep up their poo. Obviously we feed the animals daily and tidy thoroughly as we go. We also have major clean ups approximately monthly, depending on the animal. Those animal paddocks simply need major rakes!
Hands on animal care & socialisation
Do you really want to help but age, or injury prevents heavy manual tasks? Do you have a young one (14 year minimum) who simply wants to learn being around animals. We still need your help. We have horses to bath, animals to walk, sheep to maintain and young animals to care for. Simply spend time with the bubbas, talk to them, help them trust, even read to them or play a soothing instrument. Tell us what you can offer.
Repairs and maintenance
Many tasks fall into this category but all are equally important. Should you not wish to clean pens we have plenty of jobs including fence repair, building new structures, sometimes it will simply be maintaining paddock or general area cleanliness. Whatever it is we will provide the plans and the tools, we just need the help.
Fundraising
Running a sanctuary is extremely expensive work and we are constantly needing to raise funds via different means. Furever Farm currently has a small fundraising team which we are often looking to expand with fresh faces and fresh fundraising ideas and skills. Have you got fundraising experience?
