About the Stables

 

The Bolnhurst Stables Trust is an interdenominational Christian charity (registration no. 327398) which has sponsored a number of projects since the Centre was founded in 1984.  Our trustees and senior staff are members of various local churches and respected contributors to the local community.

 

The Seed Sowers Training Project is the longest running of our activities.  It has focused on giving practical work experience within a safe environment to different groups of adults with special needs.  Our clients are encouraged to discover their own value and talents and to gain the confidence to fulfil their role in the outside community.  

The work includes practical care of five acres of land, which includes woodland, hedges and meadow, growing herb and wildflower plants for selling, environmentally friendly composting and basic building and equipment maintenance.

Over the past few years we have produced an increasing number of our own preserves, greetings cards, gift-wraps, jewellery, candles and a variety of gifts.  The kitchen and craft department is now a substantial part of our vibrant working community.

See separate page for our new Step To Work programme.

 

The Coffee Shop   We are very  pleased to say that our popular Saturday afternoon Coffee Shop is open again this year.  Come and join us on the FIRST Saturday of the month, through to the end of the year 2.00.- 4.30 p.m.  Delicious home-made cakes and a selection of hot and cold drinks will be available.

There will be some special days and these will be featured in What’s On.  In addition to these times, our plants, preserves and crafts will be on sale on Mondays and Tuesdays in term times, and on Thursdays throughout the year, 10.00 a.m - 3.30 p.m, when you may also enjoy the grounds and woodland walks.

If you wish to visit outside these times please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.

 

Volunteers are always welcome and are important team members, helping us to continue to provide a top quality service.  Please contact us to find out how you might be able to help.

 

Money is always gratefully received as well as time.  If you are a taxpayer your gift is worth even more: it is particularly satisfying to receive support from Inland Revenue!  Please contact us for a leaflet about this.
