The winters are hard at Teen Ranch Scotland. You can’t pack the horses away in sheds and say “See you in the Spring”. This doesn’t just apply to the horses but to everything that we do. Although the work carries on, the income doesn’t. In fact come Winter, all of our income stops yet our expenditure rolls on. All of our running costs plus wages for the staff and the staff at the overseas ranches comes to a total of £15,000 per month. Considering our winter period lasts from November through to February before we see income picking up at all. That all adds up to around £60,000 that we have no guaranteed income to cover.
But we have an idea!
Our idea is simple, we thought “how much would people miss a pound? A pound isn’t a lot of money, it’ is maybe enough to cover a chocolate bar.”
What about one pound a week? That doesn’t seem like a lot, but you’d find that it adds up. We could take that money and put it away specifically for our winter running costs. All we need is for people to commit £1 a week to go towards this fund. £52 from someone seems quite far from the £60,000 required total.
But what if we had one thousand people?

With Gift aid, £1 is £1.25, that doesn’t seem like a huge difference. But over time it really is.
£1 a week (£1 .25), £4 a month (£5), £52 a year (£65) With one thousand people this raises the total to £65,000. If 1 person finds 1,000 people to give If 10 people find 100 to give If 100 people find 10 to give If 1,000 people be that 1 person who gives then we’d have what we need to make it through the winter.
