Story
Disaster has struck once again! After the devastation of losing our field shelters last winter within a couple of weeks of installation we appealed recently for help to resurrect them once more & with overwhelming support a team of volunteers got together to make this happen for our little charity & it's residents. Not even a fortnight later, with the onset of Storm Alwen we have once more lost both field shelters within minutes of each other! Again, we are completely devastated, with winter upon us & the glimmer of hope that we could give our ponies a dry roof overhead it has now been ripped away from us once more. We are such a small cause & are so often overlooked when it comes to support, we were so lucky to have had these structures funded to the cost of £4,200 last year this new blow is just completely heartbreaking. On top of this we will also now have to replace damaged fencing added to the usual worries of our running costs escalating because of Winter which was concern enough with the impact that the Covid pandemic has had on our fundraising & regular donation income. As a 100% volunteer run charity we work so hard with so very little to ensure our residents receive the best of care & at this point it is truly soul destroying. So, we are here, cap in hand, asking that, if you can help us in any way, please, please support our appeal & help us raise the funds that we desperately need to replace at least one of our shelters & provide our ponies with everything they need this Winter

3 years agoThank you to everyone for your overwhelming support. Although we failed to hit target here, thanks to additional donations directly to BMPR we managed to purchase two replacement shelters from EquiHuts. I thought the page had already closed down (not great with this technology stuff) so I have now worked out how to do so (I hope) so will do this after I send this update. Thank you all again so much for your support & helping the BMPR Herd

3 years agoWe are completely blown away by everyone’s incredible kindness & support & want to say a huge thank you to everybody who has donated to our appeal & helping us come so close to our target! We hope that we will shortly be able to place an order for replacement shelters for our residents which would never have been possible without all of your help. On behalf of our little herd, thank you all so very much for your all of your support during what has been a horrible time. Our most heartfelt thanks & wishes Shelley & the BMPR Herd
