New Chief Officer - Wendy Robinson

New Chief Officer - Wendy Robinson

Oak Tree Farm is pleased to announce Wendy Robinson as our new Chief Officer

As many of you will know, David Morton, has recently retired from the position of General Manager at Oak Tree Farm in Hilderstone after 35 years. This has given the farm a new opportunity to take on Wendy Robinson, who has many years’ experience in horticulture, plant care, retail management, people support, customer service and mentoring roles throughout the country. Having recently left a position as Retail Manager for the National Trust South West portfolio to move back up country, Wendy is delighted to be part of the team at Oak Tree and is keen to work with David during his final few weeks to take on board all that Oak Tree is about. 

Wendy said "David has done a fantastic job of building Oak Tree Farm up to what it is today and it’s going to be challenging to fill his shoes but luckily he’s staying on as a volunteer to offer support and guidance.  The team members are also delighted he’s staying with us. In my new role, I will do everything I can to ensure the farm stays true to the original ethos of providing a safe and worthwhile learning environment whilst also ensuring the farm keeps up to date with technology and learning opportunities.”

Team Members Bike a Thon 2024

Team Members Bike a Thon 2024

From Monday 15th to Friday 19th July 2024 our Team Members, Staff and Volunteers took part in our Bike a Thon.  Our theme this year was the Olympics and so the goal was to cycle 425 miles, the distance from Oak Tree Farm to Paris.  The Team Members smashed it and completed the 425 miles on Friday afternoon.

The money they raised is to be split between Oak Tree Farm and Special Olympics Stafford. 

If you wish to support us our Just Giving page is still open, just search for Oak Tree Farm Rural Project and select Oak Tree Farm Rural Project Team Member’s Bike a Thon 2024, or use this link www.justgiving.com/page/oak-tree-farm-team-members-1718197366941

Oak Tree Farm Rural Project

Oak Tree Farm provides training and supported occupation for adults with learning disabilities, in a rural environment.

The Project provides opportunity, support and encouragement for people to learn new skills and to improve their existing ones, paving  the way into sheltered employment for those people for whom this is appropriate, whilst giving purposeful occupation to others.

Where are we based?

Oak Tree Farm is situated on a 15 acre smallholding near the village of Hilderstone and is part of the Harrowby Estate of Sandon.
