Where your money goes

Whether it’s a cow, a goat or an allotment, sending an ethical gift from Cows ’n’ Things should bring a smile to the face of a friend or loved one. What’s more, both of you can share in the satisfaction of knowing it’s a gift that has made a real difference to someone’s life.

All the money donated through Cows ‘n’ Things will be spent on our work overseas where the need is greatest, helping the most disadvantaged older people. All the gifts on the site are based on the needs of the beneficiaries and will help create real change in their lives.
