Club purpose and membership guidelines

The Friends of the Hidden Valley Farm Sanctuary Club (also know as *The Club) exists to support the ongoing care, wellbeing, and protection of the animals living at Hidden Valley Farm Sanctuary.

The club brings together people who share a love for animals, nature, and compassionate living. Through membership support, the club helps provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and safe lifelong homes for the sanctuary animals.

The club also offers members the opportunity to stay connected with life at the sanctuary and to be part of a community that values kindness, nature, and animal welfare.

What the club provides to members
  • A regular Sanctuary “Seasons News” newsletter sharing stories from the animals and life on the farm.
  • Inclusion in the monthly membership draw, where one member receives a cash prize of the monthly membership pool. (1 draw per person)
  • Opportunities to attend sanctuary open days & events.
  • A 10% discount on stays of two nights or more (subject to availability).
  • Inclusion with other HVF activities that are not related to the Sanctuary itself.
  • Updates and invitations to special sanctuary activities when available.

The sanctuary will do its best to keep members informed, connected, and appreciated as valued supporters of the animals.

What your contribution provides

More is a blessing! Extra contributions are seen as donations, and help provide:

  • animal feed, rugs and care
  • veterinary support & first aide
  • General foot and teeth maintenance
  • maintenance of shelters and paddocks
  • improvements to the sanctuary environment
  • Ongoing needs of the sanctuary operations
The membership draw
  • Each month, one member will be randomly selected to receive a cash prize with the remaining funds supporting the animals and sanctuary operations.
  • The draw will be conducted fairly and announced in the monthly newsletter.
  • Members are given the opportunity to bank the winnings or donate it back. This is kept confidential.

  • Support the values of kindness, compassion, and respect for animals and nature.
  • Treat the sanctuary environment and animals with care during visits.
  • Follow any safety or animal welfare guidelines when visiting the sanctuary.
