Local girls spend a summer raising cash for farm charity:
Four local girls started their own fundraising drive over the summer months to raise cash for the Amelia Trust Farm.
Molly, Lilly, Annabelle and Isla sold homemade treats and gifts in their home village of Llandow to raise money for the farm – in particular to help look after the farm’s donkeys. They set up a stall and sold a range of delicious homemade treats, including meringue kisses, cupcakes, fudge, and even homemade dog treats.
Also on sale were hand-picked lucky four-leaf clovers, homemade greetings cards, little houses, and their own invention ‘happiness jars’.
Lilly was the mastermind behind happiness jars, which aim to make people feel happier when they feel sad. She explained that she filled jars with happy sayings, glitter, and lots of colour.
Molly sold her own story book called The Gorey Gang. Inspired by David Walliams, the book is packed full of tales that she wrote herself.
Thanks to the generosity of their friends and neighbours, the girls managed to raise £318 for Amelia Trust Farm. The four young entrepreneurs visited the farm to present staff with the money. While they were with at the farm, the girls were able to meet the harm’s lovely giant bunnies.
Karen Turnbull, the director of Amelia Trust Farm, said: “We are so pleased that the girls chose to raise money and awareness for Amelia Trust Farm! It’s brilliant to see the next generation being so keen to support our small charity.
“The money will go towards helping take care of our animals (including the donkeys of course!), look after our Care Farm, and help us continue our life-changing work with disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.
“From everyone at Amelia Trust Farm, we’d like to say a huge thank you to Molly, Lilly, Annabelle, and Isla. You are superstars and we really appreciate your hard work!”
