DONATE

East Shallowford Farm has been making a difference to young people's lives for 50 years. As a small independent charity in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, we rely on businesses who share our values - and in return, we offer something genuinely meaningful.

A partnership with Shallowford isn't just a line on a CSR report. It's a real connection to a real place doing real work. Your team will feel it. So will the young people who benefit.

Why partner with Shallowford?

Bring your team to the farm for a half or full day of hands-on work alongside our team. Whether you're building fences, working in the kitchen garden, helping with conservation tasks or maintaining the farm, you'll leave with mud on your boots, a sense of genuine achievement and a story worth telling.

Volunteer days include a full briefing, health and safety induction, all necessary PPE and equipment, and a delicious farm lunch made from locally grown ingredients.

No experience needed - just enthusiasm.

"It was lovely to have the opportunity to  work with colleagues outside, doing something totally different rather than in the office. I enjoyed my lunch provided by the Farm using their own vegetables and fruits."

 - Helen, Client Services, Wolferstans

"All the staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming. The activities we took part in during the day were fun, and there was always someone available to help or answer any questions."

 - Jayda, Paralegal, Wolferstans

What can corporate sponsorship look like?

Fund a residential or day visit for a school that couldn't otherwise afford to come. Your contribution directly enables a young person to experience Shallowford, and it's a tangible impact you can share with your team and stakeholders.

Charity of the year

Choose us as your charity partner and rally your team to fundraise on our behalf throughout the year. We'll support you with content, updates and impact reporting to keep your people engaged and inspired. 

A one-off or regular donation to support our operations and keep the farm running. Every pound goes directly toward maintaining the programmes, the farm and the team.

Make a gift

payroll giving

Your employees can donate directly from their salary before tax through an approved payroll giving scheme. It costs them nothing extra and makes giving to Shallowford effortless and ongoing.

All corporate partners who support shallowford will be invited to shallowford, to visit the farm, see their impact and enjoy the surroundings.

We're proud to count KPMG, Kier BAM JV, Wolferstans and the Environment Agency among the businesses who have volunteered and partnered with us. Through our relationship with Promoting Children in Plymouth, these partnerships directly fund school residential visits for children who would otherwise never get the chance to come.

As Alisha Rodwell, Social Sustainability Coordinator at Kier BAM JV, put it: "It's an ecosystem of support - bringing together businesses, charities and Shallowford Farm to help children access valuable residential experiences."

Who we already work with
