Acorn Village

Acorn Village Established in 1975 by a group of parents who wanted to create a secure future for people with learning disabilities. People first, disability second.

Reg Charity No:263954 Acorn's riding, bowls and swimming teams compete in local events, their craft entries regularly win prizes at local shows, and many of the people at Acorn Village take up further education and regularly attend clubs and groups throughout their local area. They plan and organise holidays and are given appropriate staff support.

We were delighted to host two fantastic volunteering groups yesterday πŸ’š

The team from Allianz returned for their annual volunteering day, helping to tidy the gardens around several of our residential homes. They also made a generous monetary donation to Acorn Village. Thank you for your continued support!

We’d also like to thank Lorraine and her two friends, who kindly volunteered their time to help with painting projects around the village. We’re incredibly grateful for their hard work and enthusiasm πŸ™Œ

We’ve been blown away by the amount of support we’ve received during Learning Disability Week, and we’d like to thank everyone who has volunteered, donated, and got involved πŸ‘

If you’re interested in taking part in one of our volunteering days, please email [email protected] πŸ’š

Not all disabilities are visible πŸŒ»πŸ’›

At Acorn Village, you may see some of our staff, volunteers, residents and tenants wearing The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower πŸ’š

It's a discreet way for people to indicate that they have a disability, condition or illness that may not be immediately apparent and that they may need a little extra support, patience or understanding.

A little kindness and understanding can make a big difference 🌻

To celebrate the start of Learning Disability Week, a group of our residents and tenants joined a community project to help enhance the Wildflower Area at the Manningtree Park development by City & Country, located just a short walk from Acorn Village 🏠

Residents and tenants who attend our Day Service's gardening workshops have been working alongside Lee Connelly, Children's Gardening Coach, to support this exciting initiative πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎπŸ‘¨β€

The project reflects the spirit of Learning Disability Week by promoting inclusion and recognising the importance of ensuring people with learning disabilities are seen, heard, and valued in their communities πŸ’šβœ¨

It was a wonderful afternoon spent contributing to a project that will benefit the local area, and we’re looking forward to seeing the wildflower space flourish and the finished result come to life 🌹🌷🌺
