Those with conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke and MS, MS can take part in a range of sports, scuba diving, sailing, archery, angling, abseiling, quad-biking, gliding, canoeing, clay pigeon shooting, go-karting, land-yachting, wheelchair tennis and many more.
Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice
Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice serves a population of 600,000 in West Surrey and North East Hampshire, caring for seriously ill people and their families both at the Hospice and in the local community. Funding from the NHS accounts for only 12% of the Hospice’s income – the rest is raised from fundraising. Farnham Weyside contributes towards this.
Step by Step
Step by Step provides emergency accommodation to young people aged 16 to around 25, not just to keep them off the streets, but to provide accommodation and support to give them opportunities which can lead to independent living. Step by Step is Farnham Weyside President’s Charity of the Year.
Woodlarks Workshop
Woodlarks is a residential care home and arts workshop for physically disabled people providing accessible facilities for the disabled and wheelchair users. These include a purpose-built kitchen, physiotherapy sessions in the well -equipped gym and ongoing professional training.
