NB THIS IS A FREE Heritage Open Days Event - Although if you would like to donate to my charities - Please make cash donation of £5 or £10 per adult & £1 - £2 per child over 5. Proceeds will be split equally between my causes for the year. From 6 April 2025 - 5 April 2026 these are:
1st a main charity – ‘The Ways & Means Trust’ - A Great local Charity, helping adults with learning or physical disabilities, or mental health disabilities. They provide social and practical skills for independent living, training, socialisation and work experience opportunities to assist adults to lead rewarding lives, realise their potential and to build their confidence.
Their objective is to bring a wider understanding of disability to everyone.
They provide a safe, empathic environment where people may learn about the routines of work in preparation for a wider role. The benefit of this is a safe, secure and friendly environment where people are able to make mistakes, but learn and grow from them, thereby gain confidence and the experience to take with them, either into the workplace or at home or living in the community.
In addition to working with the individual, they also include the person's support network in all decisions, providing the person gives us them authority; this might include parents, carers, social workers and or other government agencies. Their aim is always to deliver a ‘person-centred approach’, thereby creating a comfortable, non-judgmental environment which encourages each person to discover their own aptitude and skills.

In their own words, the charity exists to provide support for families who have a child, or in many cases multiple children, who have special needs. We have over 700 families who are actively using our services, together with groups from special schools, respite services and care facilities. We welcome over 1600 individual children and young people plus their parents / carers, totalling over 17,000 visitors a year.
