Open Farm Sunday is Raising Money for Help the Heroes

DONATIONS FOR HELP THE HEROES TO BE DOUBLED


BARCLAYS BANK PLC and PARK HILL FARM, have joined forces to raise money for HELP THE HEROES at Park Hill Farm’s OPEN FARM SUNDAY.
For every £1.00 raised during Park Hill’s Open Farm Sunday, Barclays Bank PLC will donate the same amount.

We were approached by LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming), the charity that organises Open Farm Sunday, to see if we were raising money for charity on the day. LEAF had been approached by Barclays Bank who wished to be involved with fund raising on Sunday 12th June, and staff from Barclays had picked our farm as one they would like to be involved with.

So we choose Help the Heroes because of the First Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment being stationed at Tern Hill.”

Helen Griffiths, Relationship Support Manager, Barclays Bank PLC North West, will be attending Open Farm Sunday and, amongst other fund raising activities, will be holding a raffle with ASDA vouchers as prizes. Help the Heroes will be a popular charity, and providing we can raise £100 on the day, Barclays Bank PLC will match fund to double the donation.

We are looking forward to reaching the £100 minimum we need to raise to get the matched funding from Barclays. So we hope as many people as possible will come along for a free trailer ride, try their hand at pond dipping, of just to see the animals, as well as the many other activities going on on the day.

Park Hill will be open between 11.30 am and 3pm, and further information is available from 01630 652178.
