Creating Safe Spaces
We are working harder than ever to keep Stonebridge safe, open, and reliable for the people who depend on it. Rising costs and increasing pressure on charities mean that keeping the farm running now takes sustained support, not just goodwill.
At a time when many people are under strain, places like Stonebridge are so important. We provide stability, routine, and connection in a shared working environment where people can contribute, belong, and feel at ease.
Each year, thousands of people come through our gates. Children meet animals for the first time. Volunteers build skills, confidence, and routine through real work. People of all ages find calm, connection, and a sense of belonging.
To keep Stonebridge open and doing this work, we need ongoing public support. If you value having an open, reliable place like this in the city, please consider donating today. Your contribution helps sustain the farm, the people, and the animals week after week.
Safe Space for Our Volunteers
Every day, volunteers with a wide range of abilities, backgrounds, and additional needs find purpose, structure, and community here at Stonebridge City Farm.
For many, the farm is more than a place to help—it’s a place where they feel supported, valued, and understood.
Your donation helps us continue offering:
- Meaningful, supported volunteer roles
- Specialist guidance and pastoral care
- A safe, stable environment where people can grow confidence and skills
- Warm indoor spaces where volunteers can gather, learn, and feel connected during the coldest months
When you support our winter appeal, you’re helping us protect a lifeline for people who need a safe space the most.
Safe Space for Our Animals
Our animals rely on us completely, especially during winter. Rising costs of feed, bedding, heating, and veterinary care make it a struggle to provide the high standards of welfare that we are committed to.
Your support ensures we can continue:
- Keeping barns warm and dry
- Providing quality feed and regular enrichment
- Maintaining clean, comfortable living spaces
- Delivering the best daily care, even in freezing weather
By donating, you help us keep every animal safe, healthy, and loved.
A Safe, Open Place for People and Community
From families looking for an affordable day out, to school groups learning about nature, to students and community organisations needing a supportive environment, Stonebridge is a free, inclusive place used by thousands of people each year.
With your support, we can continue to provide:
- An open and accessible space for everyone
- Educational visits that are practical and engaging
- Opportunities for connection and contribution
- A calm, reliable place during difficult times
Throughout 2026, your support helps keep Stonebridge open to all.
