Preserving heritage, supporting community
For over 35 years Almond Valley Heritage Centre has served as a vital community asset to the region, leveraging the power of heritage to nurture communities, support wellbeing and inspire the next generation whilst contributing significantly to the social, cultural and economic standing of the region.
As a small heritage charity, we work with purpose to have the biggest positive impact upon people and planet. We work tirelessly to preserve the natural, built and cultural heritage, and rare breed animals in our care for future generations because the pathway to a better future is inextricably linked to our past.
Our work is increasingly delivered in collaboration with the community, schools leaders and children, young people and other social enterprises/charities who recognise, as we do, that together we can make a bigger difference.

How your support helps
By supporting us, via a donation or by gifting something via our Rare Breeds Farm Wish List, you’re directly contributing not only to the preservation of our region’s journey to date, but also to a growing programme of work aimed at enriching wellbeing and improving life outcomes for people residing in our community, programmes including:
- Education programme (co created with young people)
- Pathways to paid work programmes aimed at providing positive work experiences for young people
- Tea, Touch & Tour Heritage which is dedicated to providing a meaningful space for our elder community to gather, share, hear and celebrate their continued and valuable contribution to our society.
- Rare Breed Conservation – ensuring the survival of native farm animal breeds and promoting biodiversity.
