Minstead Trust

Minstead Trust sent us a lovely end of grant report and it was great to hear how our substantial donation towards their social enterprise operating costs has made, in their words, ‘an amazing difference’ over the past two years and has helped them to be able to deliver their innovative support programmes.

Based in Hampshire, the charity works to nurture the unique potential of people with learning disabilities.  They do this by helping them to learn new skills in day opportunities and through the provision of work experience opportunities, available across their social enterprises which include Furzey Gardens, Hanger Farm Arts Centre, Lily&Lime, Brickyard Café and Minstead Lodge conference and events venue. The charity currently supports more than 300 people along the south coast of England from the New Forest to Portsmouth and really does help people to achieve greater independence and live happier, healthier and more meaningful lives.
