Egg Club

Do you have too many eggs? Join our Egg Club! It's a fun way to raise funds!

Egg-Club-Intro-Image

Over the years we noticed that some of our adopters raised funds for us by selling 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 into pet homes
  • 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

    Through this work we have been able to influence how hens are treated both commercially and domestically by collaborating with DEFRA and veterinary institutions alike.

"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."

Jade Hughes, Solihull

"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!"

Tor Roylance, Derbyshire

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.

How do I get started?

All you need to get started is a good supply of egg boxes and a table or structure with an “honesty box/tin/jar” to collect your customers’ money. We’ll take care of the rest and send you an Egg Club marketing pack which includes the BHWT Egg Club-branded materials to help you spread the word! 

  • Your Egg Club ID Card Keep it safe - you’ll need this number to join our online Facebook community and to make your donations.
  • An Information Leaflet This covers some things you need to know before you get started.
  • A Set of Stickers for your Honesty Box Stick this on your honesty box collection tin/jam jar/or other creative idea. It tells your customers about the BHWT and why you’re helping us. And when you run out, you can download and print more at home.
  • A Set of Labels for your Egg Boxes This will help your customers remember where they got the best eggs in town, and the date they need to eat them by. And when you run out, you can download and print more at home.
  • A Set of “Our Story” Cards Surprise! Put a story card inside each egg box so as when your customers get home they can read about the BHWT… and maybe support us too!
