There’s now two easy ways for you to help raise funds for Gables Farm Dogs And Cats Home!

•  Shop Online and Raise Funds 

easyfundraising is a shopping directory listing some of your favourite online stores including Argos, Next, Debenhams, John Lewis, Toys R Us, HMV and over 2000 others. Just use the links on the easyfundraising site whenever you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we'll receive a free donation of up to 15% from every purchase you make. It really is that simple! 

It’s completely FREE to register and you won’t pay a penny more for your shopping when you use the easyfundraising site. In fact you can even SAVE MONEY as many retailers offer discounts, special offers and even 'e-vouchers' exclusive to easyfundraising.

If you shop online anyway then why not raise valuable extra funds for us by using this fantastic scheme. All you need to do is visit easyfundraising and when you register, select Gables Farm Dogs And Cats Home as the organisation you wish to support.

•  Search the Web and Raise Funds

You can also raise funds when you search the Web - with easysearch, a search engine with a difference!

When you search the Web with easysearch instead of Google or any other search engine, you’ll raise funds for us with every search you make! Just like easyfundraising it’s completely free to use and if you make just 10 searches a day, you could raise £20 a year - or more - for us, just by switching to easysearch.

What’s more, easysearch is a 'super' search engine that combines the strengths of several search providers together - Yahoo!, Bing, Ask.com and many more. easysearch tracks down the most relevant and accurate results from across the Web, which means you’ll find what you’re looking for quickly and easily every time - all in one ‘easy’ search.

Check out our unique  easysearch page and use it every time you search the Web.

We have recently teamed up with Stamps n All, based in Plymouth.

Who can recycle goods to help the environment and raise money for Charity!

• Any stamps – used or unused. If they are on envelopes or cards, please leave about half a centimeter round the edges. Please don’t peel off stamps - it reduces their value. **IF the stamps are on envelopes or cards postmarked before 1970 - DO NOT REMOVE THEM! This is because they can be worth more as a collectible item still complete on the envelope.
• Postcards. Pre-1940s birthday cards. World War 1 silk cards – with or without stamps on, but don’t remove stamps from postcards if they are on them.
• Envelopes and first-day covers – old, interesting, **see note above. Looking, even with their letters in!
• Coins and bank notes – old or new, from ANYWHERE in the world, obsolete or otherwise.
• Precious metal – including broken jewellery, old trophies, gold, silver etc.
• Medals and badges – and that is not limited to military items either.
• Costume Jewellery is accepted.

• Keys – any age or type including locks.
• Watches – analogue, digital, working or not.
• Mobile phones – any age or condition, working or not.
• Small antiques – generally the small table trinkets, old stoneware bottles and pot lids, dolls heads etc (pre 1930 only please).

Take a look in the loft. You would be amazed how much that old junk could raise for a good cause!

Large collections by special arrangement.  Telephone 01752-296-369 Mon – Wed & Fri 9am to 5pm.

Small lots can be mailed direct to us at address below or bought into Gables Farm where collecting boxes are provided.

REMEMBER every time you post anything

INSIST ON USING REAL STAMPS

In order to improve the fundraising with Charities that collect stamps, always ask for REAL stamps when posting anything, instead of the computer generated label.

If you ask nicely you'll be able to get good commemoratives and possibly even a circular date stamp! Depending on service used.
