Crowdfunding To Keep Our Piggies Warm

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

Hi all,

We have set up a Crowdfunding page (see the link below) to try and raise some funds to cover the extra bills that will start to roll in, now that the weather has turned cold. Please take a look at the link to read more and share where possible. Any support will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you!

Help raise £1000 to help cover the costs of heating the Guinea Pig sheds, for our special needs animals, throughout the cold winter weather.

And I also wanted to remind people who are not able to donate directly, that you can also raise some much need money for TEAS via Easy Fundraising.

I signed up for this a while ago and was initially skeptical - apparently if I shopped at certain retailers (Amazon, Ebay, Booking.com, Argos, Asda, etc) every time I spent money, they would make a donation to my chosen charity (TEAS) at no cost to me. The amount of the donation varies, but it doesn't cost me anything, and I have been surprised at how quickly it has added up.
If you shop online it really is a very easy way to donate for free.

If you sign up using the link below, TEAS will get an extra 4 pound donation the first time you buy something.

Thank you everyone! We are blown away by the incredible support we receive from you all - it really does make such a difference to the lives of our extra special piggies! Please do continue to share the crowdfunding page in any way you can.

@Swissgreys - thank you for the Easyfundraising mention! As you away, it really is so easy to sign up to and will generate much needed funds at no extra cost. Particularly good while Christmas shopping, but equally as valuable all year round. Things like insurance, weekly shops and holidays booked online - just imagine the donation that would generate...!

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

So very nearly at the halfway point! Thank you so very much for all the kind support so far - you have been wonderful! We're going into a new period of freezing weather, so please keep the piggies in mind, should you have a couple of pounds spare. Thank you.

:likeoes TEAS get more benefit if we donate via Crowdfunding than if we make a donation via text or some other means? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've not looked into crowdfunding before. Not sure if it makes a difference that I am a non-tax-payer?

We set up the Crowdfunding with a particular focus on the heating of the piggy sheds at both sites of TEAS, so that is what the Crowdfunding money will go towards. The donations in any other form - text, PayPal - go directly to the veterinary bills for our piggies. If you were a tax payer, it would mean that we could ask you to Gift Aid your donation and TEAS could claim an additional amount from HMRC. Any donation you make would be of the same value, whether you pay tax or not.

Hope that helps!

 

[MintyAndGarry (TEAS)]

Huge generosity has made our total shoot up to 60%! Thank you again to everyone who has donated so far!

 

[Beans&Toast]

When will we be able to donate until? I've already given something but my Granda gave me £20 for Christmas to donate (I had mentioned to him about the piggies at TEAS).

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

Thank you! That’s very kind. The crowdfunding page will be running for a while

I use this to support Warwickshire rabbit and guinea pig sos. I will happily change it for a while but I’m no good at things like that, do you know how to change charity?
