Charity and Voluntary Sector

BIGRadio 2 regular and gardening expert, Terry Walton, rolled up his sleeves last week to launch a new horticultural centre to support people with learning disabilities in Rhondda Cynon Taff. 
Thanks to a £150,184 grant from the Big Lottery Fund in 2005, ‘Drive’, an organisation that provides support services to people with learning disabilities, has been able to realise its dream of constructing a purpose built horticultural centre that will have tremendous benefits for people with learning disabilities in the county.
 
In a long-standing partnership with Rhondda Cynon Taff Social Services Department, ‘Drive’ has delivered important employment training activities.  The completion of the horticultural project will provide a permanent training facility with enhanced access that will offer opportunities to an increased range of people.
