As you all know we are a sanctuary and we have many chronically sick, disabled and abused rabbits in our care, we don't get time to do fundraising or sponsorship as the bunnies take up all our time, we travel the country to visit specialist vets so that our bunnies get the best possible care at all times and this is very expensive, however we never take a bunny on unless we are prepared to pay all the vets bills ourselves, but this leaves very little finance for other things and so I would like to make the following request

Does anyone have any spare or unused single story hutches, either 5 foot, 6 foot or 7 foot that they don't want or want to sell cheaply please?
 
I've had a thought but I don't know if it would be too much work. My friend had two smaller hutches which she and her uncle screwed together and put a door from one to the other. Is that something you could do? Because I bet we could all buy hutches in the area off ebay, gumtree etc and with a few power tools you could have some very cheap 7 and 8 foot hutches.
 
:?
Have you an idea in mind :D

there's several types of promoting you can do

  1. promoting of a fundraiser
  2. promoting of the sanctuary itself
  3. promoting the rabbits and people behind the sanctuary

some people question why number 3 but this is effective as its human interest people are nosy and love hearing about this kind of thing.

leaflets like concertina leaflets are good for promoting as are videos on the net they reach people quickly and can be posted on social networks.

As for fundraising ideas would you be able to do something like an open day?

This is the problem I think, from what Snowy has explained she does not have the time to do the fundraising as all her time is taken up caring for the bunnies.
 
I can imagine people on here wouldnt mind doing a fundraiser for her but I am just wondering if it could be at an open day at the sanctuary.

Have tombolas, talks, demonstrations, things for sale, meet the animals (which can be just seeing them so not to stress them out etc..)
 
I don't have any hutches, sorry, but was wondering if there was anything else that you needed that people would maybe have?

Like Towels, Bowls, Toys, Vet Bed etc?

Maybe if people had things lying about that you could use then they would send them on to you? Postage is only £3.50 through Collect Plus and you can send a large box up to 10kg for that price?
 
I only have a little one, over 4ft, but less than 5 I think. I would gladly give it to you though as I don't think Stephen is ever going to go outside!
 
Thank you all so much for all your very kind offers but it's large hutches that we are in need of, I am OK for most other things, thank you for all your suggestions and thoughts

I will keep you all updated as to our ongoing renovations
