Buttercups sanctuary in Boughton Monchelsea on the outskirts of Maidstone provides animals that have suffered so much with a safe and loving home for the rest of their lives. As well as open fields to roam in, all of the animals at Buttercups have warm and dry undercover accommodation at night.

At Buttercups, goats that have been mistreated and abused, starved and abandoned, are taken into care, giving them an environment of love and kindness. Here their 'hurts' can be treated and their experience of cruelty is replaced with understanding and trust.


Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats is now home to over 140 goats and provides care to an additional 130 goats in foster homes.  The charity relies entirley upon the goodwill and generosity of its supporters and friends by providing financial support through donations.


Unfotunately the charity’s finances have already been affected by the need to be closed to visitors due to the Covid-19 crisis and they risk closure if they cannot find extra financial support.


This saddened us and we decided we would like to do something to raise some money to help save the goat sanctuary.

Therefore, over 7 days we will be galloping for a total of 140 minutes as there are over 140 goats in the sanctuary. We will keep everyone updated on our progress through the week. 

If anyone can spare anything, no matter how small, your donations will help to continue the care of the goats. 

Hopefully one day, everyone can visit the sanctuary again to see the goats that we will be galloping for.

Thank you.

Eliza and Emelia
