It doesn’t matter how big or small your organisation is, there are lots of ways in which you can support Whirlow Hall Farm Trust and the children we help. Simply contact our Fundraising Team to find out more and to set up a call or meeting.

Keep up to date with what’s going on through the 480 newsletter and dedicated events, giving you the chance to network with other members. You can also take the opportunity to visit the farm with other team members to meet some of our beneficiaries.
Charity of the Year
As well as supporting a fantastic cause by choosing Whirlow has your charity of the year, you will also be generating lots of positive PR and encouraging team building. We can provide you with on-going support, fundraising tips and ideas as well as opportunities for staff to visit the Trust to see what your contribution is helping us achieve. Staff can even work for a day on the farm!
Corporate Away Days
Are you tired of booking the usual hotel meeting room for your away day? Why not consider coming to the farm. we can offer a meeting space set up with AV equipment, refreshments and a tasty lunch, and include a farm activity such as dry-stone walling or helping with the animals.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Whirlow Hall Farm and would recommend it to any business looking for a good cause to support. Not only did we gain an understanding about the amazing work the charity does on a daily basis from the farm tour, we also gained a new skill (dry stone walling) and had a rewarding day knowing our hard work would ultimately help the charity. It was really worth while having a day out of the normal office environment and working alongside colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you to Lucinda and the team for being so accommodating and welcoming to the Steel City team!”
Networking Events
We hold regular networking breakfasts around the city, proving to be a great opportunity to meet Sheffield’s finest business people - and you'll get a delicious Whirlow breakfast to set you up for the day! To join the mailing list, email events@whirlowhallfarm.org
You can join our group on LinkedIn here too so you don’t miss out!
Sponsorship
Enhance your profile among your target audience, generate excellent PR and marketing opportunities and lots of benefits for your staff by supporting one of our main events at the Farm. This might be for Lambing Events, Easter, Sheff’s Kitchen, Beer and Bangers, Farm Fayre, Halloween or Christmas Fayre. Every penny helps us create a wonderful event for the communities around us and supports our mission to help vulnerable children and young people in our region.
Payroll Giving
This is one of the easiest, most tax efficient ways of making a regular donation. Donations are taken from gross pay so will cost you up to 40% less as a result. Some lovely companies even match staff donations!
Skills Share
Do you have skills or facilities that we could use? Several local businesses are already getting stuck in and helping us with maintenance, equipment, and skills.
Volunteering
Getting away from your desk and out into the fresh air on the farm is a great experience. We lways need help setting up for and delivering our fundraising events. Farm activity volunteering is always great fun. As these opportunities are rare we save these for businesses who regularly support us on one of the ways listed above.
