Mudlarks

The Mudlarks Community, a charity that provides horticultural activities for people with learning disabilities in Hertford, were delighted with our grant of £7,630. 

Our support has enabled Mudlarks' gardeners with learning disabilities to restore the grounds of Hertford Castle, benefiting the thousands of people who visit the historic site every year.

Vic Broscomb, CEO, The Mudlarks Community said: "Mudlarks are delighted to receive funding from the Morrisons Foundation for our wonderful team of gardeners at Hertford Castle.

“Our learning disabled gardeners maintain these prestigious grounds, selecting and planting perennials to provide year round interest to the many visitors to the castle.

“As well as beautifying the area for our community, this project provides horticulture training for our disabled gardeners and promotes inclusion, showing the public the amazing skills that our gardeners have."

Mudlarks is a Hertford based charity which supports adults and young people with learning disabilities and mental health concerns. Through supported learning and meaningful work in the community, Mudlarks’ projects help people build confidence and self-worth, and develop important skills.
