Egg Club

No! Any hen and hen keeper that wants to help raise funds for the BHWT is very welcome to join Egg Club.

If you haven’t adopted your hens from the BHWT, we would like you to send us a photo of your hen house and run, something all our adopters do. This is so that we know all our Egg Club hens have a great outdoor life.

It’s really simple; use the sign-up form and let us know a few details about you and your flock. We’ll then pop a pack in the post so you can get started as well as email you with your Egg Club membership number.

There are lots of ways to spread the word: display a sign on your gate; tell neighbours, colleagues, friends and family. These are just some of the ways that work well for our members.

While a garden stall is a lovely way to make your eggs available, our Egg Clubbers supply eggs to supporters in all sorts of ways from taking them into the work to delivering by donkey and cart!

The easiest way is by using our online webform. You can also post a cheque to us at Hen Central, Rose Ash, South Molton, EX36 4RF or call our fundraising team on 01884 860084 and we’ll be happy to take your donation over the phone.

As long as you pay a basic rate of tax, you can Gift Aid your donation and if you’ve already declared your eligibility to us then we will add it to your donation. Find out more and declare your eligibility here.

It’s up to you; you might like to donate monthly, or you might prefer to let the total add up a bit before donating. Please do get in touch with us if it’s been a while since your last donation, especially if your circumstances have changed.

How much you choose to donate is also a personal choice; some of our Egg Clubbers donate all the funds they receive, while others keep some for their hens for food, treats and other essentials. Whatever you choose to donate is very much appreciated!

Our free Egg Club pack has all you need to get started. This includes a membership card with your individual membership number, an information leaflet with useful tips, a set of stickers for your honesty box, egg box labels and a set of ‘Our Story’ cards to put in egg boxes to let your supporters know about the BHWT.

Yes you can! You’ll find egg box labels, ‘Our Story’ cards and honesty box labels and Bake For Hens Sake promotion cards to pop into your egg boxes right here.

While not mandatory, we encourage all members to join the Egg Club map even if you don’t want to use it to advertise your location to potential supporters. It holds information about your Egg Club including how much you’ve raised and any other details you want to include such as a little about your hens and other produce you might have available through your Club. Think of it as a shop window for your Egg Club! Sign up here.

If you would like to advertise to new supporters, they can get in touch with you through the online webform associated with your Egg Club. They will supply their name, contact details and a message so that you can reply to them directly.

Absolutely! Some of our lovely Egg Clubbers provide fruit, veg, flowers and plants from the garden as well as eggs from their ducks and quails. You could even supply jam, seeds, baked goods, second-hand books – whatever you like! It all helps to raise vital funds.

This can depend on the treatment being given so always consult the guidance and/or your vet for confirmation.

Please get in touch to update us if anything changes. If you are not actively supplying eggs then we may recommend that you pause your membership for the time being, but it’s best to speak to us so we can help you find the best solution.

Please email fundraise@bhwt.org.uk with any questions or call us on 01884 860084.
