CW80: A countryside sanctuary
Based in the beautiful countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan, the Amelia Trust Farm is a pioneering and successful Methodist mission project. It was the brainchild of Bob and Ethel Huggard who wanted to support disadvantaged young people in mainstream education who found it hard to learn in a traditional classroom setting. In 1990 the Huggards donated land to create a rural lung and a countryside sanctuary for everyone to enjoy, and named the Farm Trust after Bob’s mother Amelia.
