Ferring Country Centre
New Horizons for People with Learning Difficulties

The Ferring Country Centre is an independent charity which provides meaningful work experience and training for adults with learning difficulties.The Centre allows them to learn in a safe and supervised environment within our Riding Therapy Unit, Garden Centre and Arts & Crafts Workshop. We afford our Clients the opportunities others take for granted, like driving and helping others less able than themselves. The Centre was established in 1986 by a small group of parents who saw the need to provide choices for those who could not cope with indoor activities and would benefit from work in an outdoor situation.

We are open to the public 7 days a week Monday – Friday 8.00 am – 4.30 pm.
(Please note the garden centre is open Saturday/Sunday 8.30-12noon April-October)

Sainsbury’s (Rustington) Local Charity of the Year

Sainsbury’s ‘Local Charity of the Year’ scheme allows colleagues and customers to select a local charity partner to support each year. The scheme aims to encourage colleagues to play an active role in their local community by supporting a local charity that is personal to them through volunteering and fundraising.
Customers and colleagues were invited to nominate a local charity, with the three most popular charities asked to present to our Colleague Councils, who then assess the suitability of the charities for their store and make their final selection. We are delighted to announce that Ferring Country Centre was selected to be Sainsbury’s Rustington’s Charity of the Year (2009/2010).
