Local MP Lynne Featherstonepaid a special visit on Fridayto Treehouse, to look at plans and inspect the area that is soon being landscaped into an exciting wildlife area next to the centre. Following a recent £80,000 national lottery award as part of the People’s Millions 2007, Treehouse are now making their innovative school, where building work is due for completion in May, even more exciting by creating a wildlife area where students get to learn essential life skills.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I am delighted to see such a worthy cause being recognised. The Treehouse Trust is an invaluable asset for young people with autism, and this award will allow it to continue its amazing work.

“This is the outcome of years of hard work, thought and research. When the garden has been fully landscaped I think it will provide an amazing area for exploration and help students develop skills for life.

“I am looking forward to coming back when work on the new school and the garden has been completed. I am just so please to see how work is proceeding.”
