Welcome to the Walton Lea Partnership!

Walton Lea Partnership is a registered charity providing interesting, fun and stimulating learning opportunities for adults and young people living with learning disabilities. We support learners to develop life skills, understand complex information, and interact with peers, volunteers and visitors.

We operate from two sites: our home at the beautiful Walton Lea Victorian Walled Garden and the historic conservatory range at nearby Walton Hall Gardens.

Walton Lea is the warmest, most welcoming place to learn, grow and make friends. It’s a safe, relaxed, inclusive learning environment that’s packed with personality. Learners are free to be themselves and encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and try new activities, building confidence and self-esteem.

Walton Lea Partnership Supporting Adults

Get involved

There are so many ways to get involved at Walton Lea. Learners and their families and careers, volunteers and visitors are all welcome to join in the fun.

Browse our range of opportunities for adults with learning disabilities, from woodwork and recycling bikes to horticulture, arts and crafts. 

Explore our home grown veg, browse handcrafted gifts, upcycled furniture and refurbished bikes before stopping off for cake in the tearoom.

Become a mentor, helper or assistant at our Walled Garden or Walton Hall conservatory site. Your free time could change someone’s life.
