A place to belong, to explore, to grow 💚
At Barnstondale, we’re proud to provide residential experiences for children and young people with complex disabilities, their families and the communities that support them.
Our facilities create opportunities for children to try new things, build confidence, discover independence and simply enjoy being children, in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
We’re particularly proud to be a home-from-home for disability communities and charities from our region and beyond. Groups such as the DYRK1A return to Barnstondale year after year, and their experiences remind us why these opportunities matter.
After five consecutive years of visiting Barnstondale, their families told us they keep coming back because it is “somewhere where everyone feels safe and included.”
We’re incredibly grateful to the families and communities who choose Barnstondale, and to every supporter, donor, volunteer and partner who helps make these experiences possible.
Because sometimes an adventure is about more than the activity itself. It’s about:
💚 Creating inclusive experiences
💚 Giving children opportunities to grow
💚 Supporting families to connect and feel they belong
💚 Providing a place where disability communities can come together
It’s about a child discovering:
“I can try. I can be brave. I can do this.”
And we couldn’t be prouder of the role Barnstondale plays in making that possible. 💚
