I wish I could have the luxury of being able to go to work, but as your father who I met at Stithians will testify, i can only get around with a wheeled walker because I have osteo-arthritis in my knees, spine and neck and getting around is problematical and it is getting progressively worse. That is why I am involved with the Robey Trust as a active volunteer as I help with the admin and I can do a lot of work from home. When I do go to the Works at Tavistock I am found jobs which I am able to do bearing in mind my disability. The Robey Trust is absolutely brilliant and they give me the opportunity to enjoy my hobby - they even have a toilet for the disabled in the Works! Because the Trust is a Charity, I can do unpaid voluntary work there without affecting my benefits as long as I keep the DWP informed.

Completely understand and appreciate your situation - I was just disagreeing with the inferrence that Dingles is an expensive place to visit and I'll stand by that.
£20 for a family of 4 with a gift aid form filled out and you get 12 months unlimited entry including all of the special events. It's just not possible to get anything more affordable than that for an attraction that has to fund itself.
