Applecast

Applecast received an endowment from us a couple of years ago and it was wonderful to read in their latest update report all the great things they have been able to achieve and are hoping to achieve which we have helped to support.

The charity provides outdoor, educational and recreational activities for young people and adults via its garden centre, café and angling centre and through interaction with animals. They are currently working with 175 young people and adults every week, helping them, through these activities, to develop practical and social skills and are providing education and training to develop vocational skills.

Applecast is based in Newburgh, Lancashire. In addition to all the activities already mentioned, the charity is also able to offer a short-term placement for up to two young people aged 7-15 who present with emotional behaviour difficulties and/or learning disability at their beautifully designed on site, eco lodge, Lakeview.
