Founded by the late Geoffrey Prince, the charity has remained entirely self-sustaining through the sale of handmade items, repairs and commercial commissions, alongside the dedication of its members, volunteers, committee and local businesses.

With its extensive range of specialist machinery, finding suitable and affordable alternative premises is proving extremely difficult - and without a new home, the charity could be forced to close.
Geoffrey’s daughter, Anna Wignall, is now appealing to the wider community for help in finding premises that will allow her father’s legacy, and the vital support network it provides, to continue for years to come.
Those interested can visit the workshop on a Monday or a Wednesday between 11 am and 3 pm, or contact Norma Prince on 01928 731477 or 07436 110997.
