Friends of the Mill

Investing in the Mill as a giving community

For generations, the Mill has been a place of adventure, friendship, challenge and discovery.

Many who have spent time there carry memories that last a lifetime, whether from school trips, volunteering weekends, evenings around the fire, or simply the feeling of being away from everyday life and close to nature.

The Mill holds a special place in the hearts of many people, and we continue to see this through the generosity, care and time supporters give to the site each year.

Friends of the Mill is our regular giving initiative, created to help provide sustainable support for the future of the site. Regular giving helps us plan ahead with confidence and invest steadily in maintaining and improving the Mill for future generations.
