Egg Club
Do you have too many eggs? Join our Egg Club! It's a fun way to raise funds!
Over the years we noticed that some of our adopters raised funds for us by giving away their hens’ eggs and donating the proceeds to us. It was a perfect giving circle: Hens helping hens. We loved this idea so much that we formally launched the British Hen Welfare Trust Egg Club in 2018.
Egg Club donations go towards supporting the work we do:
- rehoming over 60,000 ex-commercial hens a year
- raising awareness through campaigns
- developing programmes and practices to improve hen welfare
- educating consumers as to how the choices they make in supermarkets impact laying hens’ lives
The egg club is the perfect answer to what to do with the eggs from my rescue girls. My neighbours and friends are happy that they can meet the girls, see how well cared for they are, and they love knowing that the money they give for the eggs goes straight back to helping other hens get their well deserved retirement. A win for the chickens and the humans alike.
Everyone is so interested in my girls and their transformation and it gives me the added opportunity to talk about the charity. I've even had people leaving me hand painted/decorated egg boxes to put the eggs in. If you have chickens and surplus eggs join "Egg Club" and give something back! I really recommend it!
When you join the BHWT Egg Club you and your feathery friends will be helping to ensure millions of laying hens continue to have a voice and a champion – you will be helping us put hen welfare first.
