Fund Raising

Orchard Donating/Fund Raising

This year has been bad for many charities because of the covid pandemic. We've been unable to have our usual spring and autumn open afternoons selling cakes, orchard jam, etc. But we still need some help with donations to keep things moving to improve and expand the orchard for the local community and future generations. We are a non profit organisation, with all funds going to the 'Thundridge Community Orchard Trust Ltd'.

It’s simple, it’s safe, and it doesn’t cost you a penny.

Recurring costs the donated funds go towards: Public liability insurance, machinery maintenance, fuel, purchasing trees, employing proffesional services such as tree surgeons and website running costs.

Orchard Pond Fund

Pond.jpgWe've been looking to install a large wild pond to attract a more diverse type of wildlife into the orchard, the pond will be left to its own devices, so it will interesting to see what turns up.
We are happy to announce that with the help of donations, volunteers and a local aquatics company supplying liners and bolders we have been able to realise this exciting project.
