          If you wind back time, to when the Bangles were to If you wind back time, to when the Bangles were topping the charts with ‘Walk like an Egyptian’, – a young, smooth chinned twenty three year old, dressed in his smartest draylon flairs, paused to draw breath outside the doors with the sign saying ‘Welcome to Bendrigg Lodge’. - Gaining his composure, he pushed open the doors, passing the waterproofs and boots and through into the dark corridor beyond. - Immediately unfamiliar sounds echoed down towards him. It was a Friday, and the visiting groups were busying themselves as they prepared to leave, bags being stacked and bedding thrown out of bedrooms. - Having taken four tentative steps, a door burst open next to him and out bounded a young lad with Downs Syndrome. Spotting the weirdly dressed stranger, the young lad skidded to a halt and accosted him. - ‘ Hi, who are you? ‘ blurted the question, but without waiting for a response continued. ‘ My names Tommy, and I’ve done this, this and this. ‘- and proceeded to list all the activities he’d been doing that week. - Then came the final question. ‘ What have you been doing? ‘ - Slightly stunned by the lads enthusiastic outburst, the young man looked around to see if there was anyone there to guide him. There wasn’t. - ‘ Err, well, my names Rex and…’ he answered, frantically trying to think what he’d done the previous week. And frankly the truth was – very little, other than hanging round mates flats, doing whatever youngsters do whilst on the dole in Preston. ‘ Nothing really. ‘ ‘ Ah well. ‘ gushed the lads response ‘ If you come here, you’ll do loads! ‘ - And that was my first introduction to Bendrigg. Thirty four years on, I’m still grateful to you Tommy, for giving that somewhat insecure and unsure young man a little inspiration. Thank you Tommy…. - The Genesis Of A Bendrigg Tutor - By Rex Pickles - During the Covid-19 pandemic, our staff team remain of paramount importance to us, simply put, Bendrigg just isn’t Bendrigg without our amazing team.

          The UK is now in 'lockdown'. This means that the m The UK is now in 'lockdown'. This means that the majority of people are confined in their homes - isolated from friends, family and experiences. Whilst you are wondering how to endure this enforced confinement, imagine if this were not to last only a matter of weeks but a lifetime... For many people with a complex disabilty, this is their reality. Last April @Wilson-stuart-school visited Bendrigg and one of the main benefits for them was simply being away from home. Because, as Unais puts it, "You're never away from home, you're always just at home". This year, Covid-19 has meant that the students from Wilson Stuart School will miss out. Bendrigg wants to be here to make sure that everyone gets a chance to be away from home when the lockdown ends. Everyone deserves that chance. So if you are already climbing the walls wondering when you will once again have the freedom to roam then please donate to our Resilience Campaign today. Please ensure that Bendrigg is the light at the end of the tunnel for over 4,000 disabled people every year. Thank you.
