| AOR/0001 | WALFORD MILL CRAFT CENTRE Walford Mill Craft Centre in Wimborne, Dorset, is looking to bring its education space to the ground floor to enable disabled people to attend workshops and classes - and the Centre's management team is seeking sponsorship to enable them to attain this goal. The existing main building is believed to date from 1760/70, and the mill has seen some fascinating developments in its time (many documented on its website). The Dorset Craft Guild, a registered educational charity formed in 1978, was invited to take on the lease of the mill at a peppercorn rent from 1986. Subsequently the mill has gained a reputation as a centre of excellence for contemporary British craft and design. Since September 1995, the mill has been independent, managed by the Walford Mill Education Trust, a registered company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (reg.no. 1049540). The Centre has initially applied for lottery money to kick-start the operation and now needs to obtain matched funding for the project, which is called Raising the Roof. Contact: Christine Lawry, Chief Executive. Address: Walford Mill Craft Centre, Stone Lane, Wimborne, Dorset BH21 1NL. Tel.: 01202 841400. Fax: 01202 840132.
