A New conservatory has been officially opened at the Home Farm Trust's Arden Vale Resources Centre in Bidford.

Staff and clients from the national charity for people with learning disabilities, gathered to thank their fundraisers at the event on Monday.

The friends group in Warwickshire, which has been raising money on the charity's behalf for more than 40 years, donated over £40,000 to the project.

Chairman John Stainton also handed over a further £12,000 before the conservatory was opened by Touch FM presenter Chris Ward. This will go towards the cost of blinds and additional landscaping of the gardens at Arden Vale.

Friends groups in Evesham also contributed towards fitting out the conservatory, which overlooks the centre's sensory garden.

"We're exceptionally pleased with this wonderful new conservatory which has already received a positive reception from many of our service users," said service manager Jeanette Rix.

"It provides a pleasant and comfortable area for people to relax, read and socialise in a totally different environment which is set apart from our other day service rooms."

The trust's services in Warwickshire include residential and home care support.
