The Spinney is also used by other community groups and for details of activists aimed at children without disabilities please visit the Spinney page. Registered Charity Number : 1160178

We believe every family is unique and every child deserves to play, grow and thrive in a safe, supportive space.
Our values:
Reaching families one by one – making a life-changing difference for each.
Being available to all – cost should never be a barrier to support.
Acting with integrity – creating trust, safety and belonging.
Keeping it fun – because joy and adventure should be part of every day.
Being beneficial – making a measurable, positive impact.
Striving for outstanding – always giving our best.
Doing it together – because when we work as one, miracles can happen.
Our belief is simple: every family should get the support they need, when they need it.

A huge thank you to the Garfield Weston Foundation for their incredibly generous donation of £30,000! This amazing gift is supporting children with disabilities and life-limiting conditions and means we can be here for more families when they need us most.
The Garfield Weston Foundation is a family founded grant-maker supporting charities operating in a wide variety of sectors across the UK that make a positive difference within their communities.
Established by W. Garfield Weston in 1958 through an endowment of shares in the family business – now known as Associated British Foods plc – the Foundation continues to be guided by the Weston Family. The Trustees, each of whom are direct descendants of the founder, play an active, informed role in its work.
This successful model has ensured that our charitable donations have grown as the businesses have grown, enabling the Foundation to award grants totalling nearly £1.7 billion since its establishment. The most recent financial year 2024-2025 saw the Foundation give away almost £130 million to 2,967 charities.
Thank you for believing in the work we do 💛
