Annual Family Fun Day at Three Trees Farm Shop
Three Trees Farm Shop will be hosting their Annual Family Fun Day on Saturday, 17th June 2017, from 10am until 3pm.
This year’s Fun Day promises to be another great day out for all the family. Now in its fifth year, the ever-popular donkeys will be back to give children a ride around the field in support of local charity Prospect Hospice. Farm equipment, including tractors, will be on display along with some of the farm animals. Local businesswoman Hilary Coates, owner of Wiltshire dog boarding company Wagging Tails, was recently welcomed to the headquarters of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People at The Grange in Buckinghamshire to celebrate the Wagging Tails' 10th Birthday.
Since Wagging Tails began supporting Hearing Dogs for Deaf People in January 2014 they have helped to raise over £10,000 for the charity with Hilary's involvement instrumental to this success, as her 2015 "Take the Plunge" event raised over £2,500 for Hearing Dogs.
The celebrations saw Hilary present a cheque for £10,000 to Sir Stuart Hampson, President of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, before the cutting of the birthday cake and a toast celebrating 10 years of Wagging Tails and 35 years of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
Speaking on behalf of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People Nicholas Orpin, Community Fundraising Manager for the South East, stated: "Wagging Tails is such a great company and
Local author, Barbara Townsend, will be reading her book The Savernake Big Belly Oak to children, after which they can participate in traditional bark rubbing.
Other activities will include face painting and glitter tattoos, outdoor games for children and more, with delicious homemade refreshments available throughout the day.

Hilary said, "I have loved working with Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and seeing the great work that they do in helping the deaf and those with partial hearing loss. I would like to thank all of our owners who have made donations to the charity when boarding their dogs with us and all those who attended and supported 'Take the Plunge'. I am really looking forward to 'Take the Plunge 2' and helping to raise more valuable funds for Hearing Dogs."
Take the Plunge 2 will take place on 9 September at South Cerney Outdoor Education Centre, Gloucestershire in partnership with the registered charity Newfound Friends and in support of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
