Fundraising
Horsfall House is owned, through a group of volunteer trustees, by the community of Minchinhampton and is proud to offer the same outstanding services to both Social Services and Private clients. The policy of the trustees is, as far as possible, to maintain an even split between these two groups. However Social Services only partially fund the costs and so there is a funding gap which is filled directly by Horsfall House. As well as funding this shortfall our free respite care is directly financed by Horsfall House. It is therefore vitally important to keep raising funds and we do this in a number of different ways:
- Events and fundraising activities
- Horsfall House 500 club
- Our Charity pop up Shop
- Donations including Gift Aid
- Legacies
The 2.6 Challenge
Duncans Challenge
Wills Challenge
Wills Challenge
This is Bob a 14 year old Border-Yorkie who is raising money in the 2.6 Challenge to save our charities. He would normally be a regular visitor to ’Grandad Vic’ at Horsfall House.
Bob is well known in Nailsworth as the ‘dog in the sack’ as his arthritis limits him to a slow sniffing pace. But from the sack he can enjoy a panoramic view and appreciate the surprised smiles from passers by!
Bob’s challenge is on 26th April and each day of the following week: ‘Walk’ 2.6 miles in his sack, then eat 2.6 gravy bones whilst I attempt a 2.6 min Pilates Downward Dog!
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO SUPPORT
HORSFALL HOUSE, THANK YOU.

Hi, my name is Will, I am a Gardener at Horsfall House and am raising money in the 2.6 challenge to save our charities.
Horsfall House is a popular place of work for many of my family members. My mum Gillian has worked at Horsfall House for 23 years, also my two sisters, Hayley and Rachel as well as my mother-in-law, Irene.
I have been a keen runner for the past 4 years so my challenge on the of 8th of May is to run 26 large laps of the garden at Horsfall House.
I will be wearing the colours of my running club Severn Athletic Club of Gloucester.
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD FOR THIS GREAT CHARITY, THANK YOU 🙏

Annabelle's Challenge
Annabelle will be doing 100 hula hoops a day for 7 days.
Annabelle would like to raise some money for the residents of Horsfall House, a care home for the elderly, to purchase new games and resources for them during this time.
Annabelle has been writing letters and drawing rainbow pictures for them since we have been in CV-19 lockdown which they have very much enjoyed. She would like to do more to cheer them up.
We would love to reach our target so please give as
much as you can afford.
THANK YOU
ANNABELLE
