At Avocet Trust we provide lifetime 24/7 support for persons with profound disabilities, including but not limited to: physical, mental, learning, brain injury and autism since 1991. We also provide a Day Centre which allows people to learn various skills in a safe, work based care setting. This includes gardening, horticulture, animal care, catering, arts and crafts, metalwork, woodwork and more.
Unfortunately our minibus, which is used to provide transport to and from our rural farm site in Preston (HU12) is coming to end of life and costing more in repairs than it's worth, so we desperately need a replacement. This will enable us to keep our site running, ensuring the support we give to our service users remains at it's highest, while saving us critical funds on repairs that can be used to further expand our work and better our services across the board.
A new minibus to enable wheelchair use costs upwards of £60,000 which is a large outlay for us. We appreciate every effort to contribute towards this cost.
