02 Activities

What the charity does

We work with small groups of vulnerable adults, including learning disabled, autistic, ex-offenders and those with mental health problems. We care for 5 acres of woodland, hedges and meadow and grow herb and wildflower plants to sell. We also produce an increasing number of our own preserves, cards, jewellery and gifts. We regularly open to the public and also welcome visitors and volunteers.
