McLaren Construction Limited whilst working within the local community are supporting Acorn Village as such invite you to help support them.

Below is a bit of information about the charity.

‘Acorn Village is a charity that provides residential and supported living facilities, care and support for adults with learning disabilities. We believe that life is for living and we put people first, disability second ensuring everyone meets their full potential in a nurturing environment.

Our objectives are met through daytime activities within the Day Services and Therapeutic Centre which encourage social interaction, learning new life skills, crafting, gardening, education, active leisure and entertainment. These activities are also open to adults with learning disabilities living in the wider community as well. Our family-centred ethos puts residents, staff, volunteers and their families at their heart of everything we do.

We continue to need to fundraise, taking into account the Cost of Living Crisis, which affects charities as well in ways such as rising energy costs for our residential properties and a steep increase in our food bill. We continue to fundraise to bridge the gap from the Local Authority fees we receive towards the care of each person who lives with us and the cost of our service provision.

Acorn Village was founded by a family over 50 years ago now, who wanted to see a brighter future for their daughter and other adults with learning disabilities. With the ethos in mind and continuing to provide far more than the basic care to our service users, has meant that fundraising is even more essential than it ever has been before.
