The charity that runs Ripon Walled Garden has launched a £22,000 fundraising campaign to buy new facilities for the disabled people it helps.
Ripon Community Link, which provides day support services for people with learning difficulties, operates from two sites in the city area — St Wilfrid’s Bungalow and Ripon Walled Garden.
Many of the people it helps work at the walled garden. The fundraising campaign will help to finish and furnish a new building on the site which they will use.
The building, which includes four classrooms, a reception and toilets, has already been paid for by grants and donations.
Victoria Ashley, Ripon Community Link chief executive, said:
“The new building is the next phase of our improvements for the walled garden to benefit members, customers, staff and volunteers.
“The opening of the toilet block was a major step for us, and now we are setting our sights on this new building, specifically aimed at benefitting our members. Our aim is to have this new facility fully opened in autumn”
