A WARRINGTON charity is reaching new heights thanks to the generosity of a ladder supply company.
Having started out in 1997 with just seven beneficiaries, The Walton Lea Partnership now supports over 70 at any one time, across its two sites at
Long Lane and Chester Road in Walton, both Warrington. 
The Walton Lea Partnership operates on a charitable basis and exists to provide learning, life enrichment and work experience for adults with learning difficulties. Wardworth Ltd became aware of some of the fantastic work being done at the Higher Walton site of the Walton Lea Partnership and wanted to help out. Within the beautiful walled gardens there are people hard at work growing plants and vegetables as well as restoring wooden furniture, bikes and making bird boxes and a wide range of other craft items.
Some of the work undertaken by staff at Walton Lea entails working at height, which prompted Wardworth to help out with the donation of a range of new Werner Step Ladders and Work Platforms. Carl Oates (Sales & Marketing Manager at Wardworth Ltd) explained: “As I live in Walton and know members of The Board of Directors at The Walton Lea Partnership, I felt compelled to pay a visit to the Walton site to get a better understanding of the great work being done to assist people who have in some cases very challenging learning difficulties. When I got to the site I couldn’t believe how stunningly beautiful the surroundings were – it was like something out of a Disney Film! After talking with the team, we agreed to help out with new ladders and advice to ensure that the staff and volunteers continue to work in a safe environment. I wanted them to have the best quality, which Werner represents”.
Phil Marshall, Director at Walton Lea Partnership commented “Carl and the team at Wardworth have been of great help and their generosity to the charity is really appreciated. We rely more and more on community and local business support to continue the great work of the charity, and Wardworth’s contribution is a great example of this”.
