Hamelin

Hamelin An Essex based charity supporting autistic adults and people with learning disabilities. This insight sits at the heart of what we do.

Hamelin Trust is an Essex based Charity, founded 40 years ago by two families raising children with learning disabilities. They wanted to provide life enriching support that was not readily available, affordable or easy to access, for families just like them. We want young people and adults with learning disabilities to lead healthy, happy and fulfilling lives. In Wickford we run a home for 5 peop

le with profound and multiple disabilities; supporting every aspect of their lives from personal care to cooking and eating, taking medication and trips into the local community. Our Rochford site ‘Gowlands’ hosts a Hydrotherapy pool that aids rehabilitation and the management of lifelong disabilities and health conditions, as well as our 9-bed residential holiday setting and our ‘Roots and Shoots’ horticultural training project which aims to provide life skills and the promotion of positive mental and physical wellbeing. The Trust’s ‘Community Support’ services are based in Billericay but provide people with life skills training and access to fun activities across Mid and South Essex. We also deliver a befriending and mentoring scheme across Chelmsford and Braintree districts, matching people with learning disabilities and autism with people who share their passions or can teach them skills.

A huge thank you to one of our wonderful supporters, Jill who recently held a fantastic charity event in aid of Hamelin, raising more than £1,000.

Jill opened her garden to family and friends for an afternoon of fun, music and, of course, plenty of cake! There was also a raffle, tombola and human fruit machine, making it a lovely afternoon for everyone who attended.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and donated. We are extremely grateful for your generosity and support.

Thank you also to Sue Sawyer for providing the wonderful live music, Amaze in Taste for the delicious customised cake, and South Essex Triumph Owners for their very generous and significant donation.

Thank you, Jill, and everyone who helped make the event such a success!

The Hamelin team is taking on the Billericay Fun Walk on 15 September.

The Fun Walk bonus pot means every donation can attract additional funding. Last year, this increased the amount Hamelin raised by 40%.

That means every donation has the potential to go even further.

We're sad to hear of Tim Curry's recent passing.

The people we support chose to create a pop-art-inspired work of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the iconic character portrayed by Tim in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Their stunning piece featured in last year’s ‘Legends’ art show.

Created as a tribute to one of cinema’s most unforgettable characters, this wonderful artwork celebrates an equally unforgettable performance.
