Originally set up in conjunction with the expansion of the Abberton Reservoir, Abberton Rural Training are a multi award winning charity providing education to a whole range of groups including vulnerable and isolated people, those who are economically inactive (whether claiming benefits or not) and Wounded and Injured Service Personnel and Veterans on our free courses, as well as offering paid courses to those who are working. We also have specialist groups for those with additional needs including autism, aspergers etc and have trained tutors and extra support available to help all succeed.
We provide learning opportunities and teaching resources to groups wanting support for their volunteers to run community gardens themselves including parish councils and schools. We have also been working with seven District and Borough Councils to help isolated and vulnerable people throughout the COVID pandemic with our Stay At Home, Grow Your Own programmes which have seen amazing results.
