Thank You for Helping

Feeding all the animals that stay at, or frequent, Frugaldom would not be possible without our supporters. Our recent request for help brought enough extra pennies to cover the cost of several packs of cat food and a couple of tubs of peanut butter.

We were also donated a total of 50kg of peanuts - something we get through a lot of, especially when supplementing the diets of so many badgers, pine martens and wild birds. One kind motorhome booking sent us 2 x 12.5kg of wild bird mix while another page follower and supporter sent 150 suet balls along with peanuts.

When we put out food for the badgers, they are often accompanied by their friends, the foxes, o we also put out dog food, which is enjoyed by both. We have had a couple of bags donated over the year but also add a big bag in when supermarket shopping. As a special treat for all, there's usually a couple of kilos of chicken drumsticks thrown in. Surprisingly, these can work out better value for money than some of the sachets of wet cat or dog food.

I sometimes think our feral feline friends and frequent visiting wildlife are better fed than us! Frugal living is the only way we can keep up with the costs involved in running such a project as Frugaldom (hence the name) and without the fabulous help of funds raised from followers and members of our 'Friends of Frugaldom' support group, we would definitely not be able to support all the animals and wildlife.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPS MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

Anyone is welcome to come along and see what we do here. We have space for up to 5 campervans or 3 motorhomes, with our yard fully certified by the Caledonian Touring Club and insured for use throughout the year. This allows us to offer overnight stops as well as longer stays, offering discounts to make longer stays more affordable to all. We also have off-grid cabins for wildlife watchers. Non-members can park their vehicles overnight in the yard and hire a hut for £50 but these are not holiday lodges or cabins, there are no services provided. It is very much a case of bring everything you need, as though camping, and leave no trace. No smoking or vaping and no pets in the huts. Friends of Frugaldom wildlife watchers have access to the huts while visiting Frugaldom.
