Easy Fundraising Adopt an Animal We have a wealth of animals that the children learn to care for and that are used as therapy. We have donkeys, sheep, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and reptiles to name but a few. At Christmas we offer the chance to adopt one of our animals. The perfect Christmas Present! You will receive an adoption pack full of interesting information about your chosen animal and regular updates throughout the year about their progress. All proceeds will go to the upkeep of our animals. Let people know about us The most powerful thing you can do is tell people about us! Our children usually learn about the world through storybooks and fairy tales. Research shows that people are more likely to be engaged if it involves a story. Tell your story about The Blue Tangerine. This will help raise awareness and break down barriers of our children with Special Educational Needs and our schools. For most people, fundraising involves some sort of journey. There were probably some difficult, moving or funny moments that could form part of your story and bring what you are doing to life.
