The Barn Owl Centre Needs your Help

A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT WHERE SUPPORT IS NEEDED!

We would like to announce that we have been granted the go ahead to start raising funds to purchase the Netheridge Farm, this has been our home since moving into the farm in 2008.

On Wednesday 5th February 2013, Gloucester City Council who owns the Farm and who are also our landlord have now given their approval of the sale!

We, the Barn Owl Centre now need to raise £165,000 to purchase the freehold of Netheridge Farm from Gloucester City Council, the sale includes many farm buildings including 12 acre's of land of which we have already given back to wildlife as an on-site Nature Reserve.

For our charity, owning the freehold of Netheridge Farm will mean that we can invest effectively to provide a secure base in support of our future, a huge benefit to our charity, our birds, local wildlife & future visitors who visit Gloucester City.

To move forward, it is important we reach out for all the support we can get, no matter how small your support is, everything helps!

It would be amazing if we can gain some help from businesses, institutions, celebrities and grant making trusts as well as a helping hand from kind hearted folk who use network sites like Facebook and Twitter etc...

If this page can be networked, we will stand a far better chance of reaching a bigger audience of supporters. If you are able to donate just £5, which is the minimal donation permitted through GoFundMe, we, the Barn Owl Centre will be on our way to purchase Netheridge Farm from Gloucester City Council.

For those who already support the Barn Owl Centre , we thank you from the bottom of hearts.

Please offer what you can, every penny helps.
