Wildgoose Rural Training
New classroom supports activities for disadvantaged adults and children
Wildgoose Rural Training provides activities for disabled adults and children who struggle with the normal education system and those facing problems with their mental health.
In 2023, the Trustees of the Axis Foundation awarded the Worcester based charity £10,000 to help build a new classroom.
The new classroom helped Wildgoose to expand its services and benefit a larger number of individuals in the local community and across Worcestershire.
“Big thanks to Axis for supporting this project which has made a huge difference to our staff and students” – Karen McConnell, Development Officer
And in 2024, the Foundation made a further award of £5,914 to build a new barn containing two new classrooms and a storage area. The extra classrooms mean an additional 14 students per day can join in the activities on offer.
