The Friends of the Aldingbourne Trust is an independent charity formed in 1995 committed to supporting the work of the Trust. Everything they do is dedicated to facilitating the Trust’s activities and promoting independence and inclusion for people with learning disabilities and autism.

What do the Friends do? 

• We recognise that having friends and a social life is vital to everyone 
• We provide everyone we support with a Christmas meal and entertainment 
• We organise social and fundraising events throughout the year 
• We support an online newsletter promoting the clients’ news and achievements 
• We hold collections to raise funds and promote awareness 
• We apply for charitable grants to enable us to support others 

The Friends’ activities help support the Trust by raising awareness of the excellent work carried out and by promoting specific projects and services.

Being part of the Friends makes me feel like I am making a difference to the Trust, I have helped put on events such as fashion shows and I have also taken part in drama workshops. I enjoy helping people and working as a team, I have made many friends being part of the Friends.
