A popular local animal attraction is inviting supporters to join them on a virtual goat walk, to help raise some much needed funds.
Bucks Goat Centre in Stoke Mandeville has been hit hard by COVID-19, with lockdown-closures making it difficult for them to find the money to feed their farmyard friends.
They're also very close to the proposed HS2 route, making things even more tricky.
Despite all these challenges, the team have come up with an inventive way to keep people connected with the farm whist getting some funds in the kitty (or should that be kiddy..?!).
This Saturday (16 January) at 11am you can go on a virtual goat walk!
Anthony & Skid will take you on a journey around the farm & local area, giving an update on the HS2 activity and what's going on close to the farm, as well answering any questions about goats or the farm you may have.
To join in on Zoom, you'll need to send a small donation (recommended £5) to their fundraising page and put the word 'goat' as your middle name (i.e. John goat Smith) and they'll send you the meeting ID and password to join Anthony & Skid on their goat walk.
