Gifts and Giving

If I could put all the gifts to the Trust this year into one parcel it would be a wonderful euphony of warmth and colour and goodwill: two glorious Minton tiles designed by Christopher Dresser; a digital projector; Willow pattern cups and saucers for our tea tent; a food processor; cushions to make our plastic chairs more comfortable for visitors; gooseberry trees; donations of money; and the time and the professional skills of people who have been to Blackden and have seen what is here and how this very special place is enhancing lives.

This exuberant generosity reflects the diversity of our benefactors and the appreciation of our visitors.  The giving is reciprocal and so is the belief in the future that it implies. We are, indeed, very fortunate.
