Win dinner with Kit Harington who plays Jon Snow in the hit series ‘Game of Thrones’, in exchange for funding Longlands Care Farm near Bromyard in Herefordshire, which has launched an appeal for a new headquarters.
Kit, whose family is local, is patron of the farm, and he’s offering the dinner at the acclaimed Green Cow Kitchens fine dining restaurant on the Whitbourne estate to major donors – visit https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/longlands to find out what you need to do to win and to see the range of rewards on offer for donors.
Why Longlands?
Longlands is an amazing place – a farm where teenagers who struggle with mainstream school are given a second chance, and thrive. But the charity has grown out of its original headquarters, a converted tractor shed, and needs a new building where staff, volunteers and students can meet and learn – and cook and eat together, a vital part of the farm’s ethos.
Kit harington, who visited the farm with his fiancée Rose Leslie, said: “I’m very proud to be Patron of Longlands Farm. I’ve had a look round for the first time and it’s been an incredible experience. I’ve seen the wonderful work that goes on here, and I’ve met all these great guys. This round house is the next step, and I’m sure it will be a brilliant one.”
Rewards
Crowd-funders can also win a signed photo of Kit, a weekend at the farm, photography lessons, a character named after them in a crime novel and an aerial dance lesson.
Longlands CEO Julia Evans, who won the BBC Countryfile Farming Hero award in 2016 for her work with teenagers, said: “It was great to have Kit visit and spend some time with us. He was so interested in the project, and so friendly and engaged with everyone. We had a super morning with him, and it’s really exciting that Kit is supporting us and helping us to raise funds for this new project.”
