“Sticky” has become a bit of a star at Waddesdon Manor — but he/she is definitely ready for a better name.
And yes, you can still be involved. There’s plenty of time to join in. Every name suggestion goes into the random draw right up until 27 September, so if you’re visiting the grounds, you can still take part, and with prizes to be won!
"Sticky" isn’t just a fun moment. It's helping us support people in Aylesbury who are facing homelessness — and the Rothschild Foundation are match funding every donation made through "Sticky", which means whatever you give is doubled.
If you’re heading to Waddesdon, pop by the playground, meet "Sticky", submit your name… and if you’re able, make a small donation that goes twice as far.
What your gift can do:
£2 — One day’s nutrition when there’s nothing else. A vitamin protein drink. Fuel to keep going.
£5 — The dignity of feeling clean. Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant. Small things that matter enormously when you have nothing.
£10 — Data connection to a way out. Housing listings, mental health support, job applications — all possible with one month of mobile data.
£20 — A supermarket shop, chosen by them. Not handed to them — chosen. Because dignity starts with having a say in your own life.
If you’re visiting, take a moment at the playground — join in, and help us support people who need it most.
If you have already submitted a name and would like to donate, please follow the link in the first comment.
