Hi everyone, 

We are running the London Marathon in October for Orchard Vale Trust! As well as a year of challenges including the Weston Super Mare Half Marathon and the London Prudential 100 mile ride! Orchard Vale Trust do amazing things to help out people living with learning disabilities!

Orchard Vale Trust support adults with learning disabilities to live life to the full. Providing person-centred care that help's individuals to develop and achieve their own goals.

They began after identifying a lack of opportunities available for learning disabled adults after leaving secondary school. OVT began to bridge this gap by providing lifelong homes to these people, homes where they are assisted in pursuing hobbies, developing skills and integrating with their communities. As well as supporting them into employment with equal opportunities as others.

They help people communicate and experience the world in the best way they can!

We know times are hard for everyone right now, but the pandemic and more has impacted all charities, especially the less well known ones so we’d like to do everything we can to help them continue supporting as many people as they can. They’re a local charity to us, based in Somerset which we also love!

£5 could buy art supplies for creative therapy workshops
£10 could pay for a skills session like cycling support
£20 or more could help fund holidays or experiences
