Blue Bell Rural Activities

Blue Bell Rural Activities We offer meaningful, practical, work based experiences in an enjoyable rural setting for adults with learning disabilities.

We are set in 6 acres in the East of Lancashire bordering with West Yorkshire. Our location provides stunning views across to Pendle Hill in the west and Boulsworth to the south. Our activities focus on providing hands on supervised sessions around Blue Bell. Working with the animals and poultry creates a learning environment through animal and stable management while learning what animals eat and

their individual needs. The improvement in communication skills while making new friends is linked together with learning and agricultural skills.

Wishing Everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year 2025!!!
I have many people to thank...so sorry for rhyme and verse...but here goes..
We became a CIC approx 3yrs ago...unfortunately Russ had to have major heart surgery.... so our funding journey was halted. (He's all good now running on all 4 cylinders!)
Becoming a CIC enables Blue Bell to enhance our service, opening up more availability and diversities and becoming an even more inclusive service... and looking forward to our all weather arena to help us to work alongside our diverse range of animals in a safe confined space...
We need to develop our quiet areas for anyone who need to just be....when the world gets a little too much...
Also funding will help us get out and about visiting other educational facilities and visiting our beautiful hills!!
Back to the thank you's...
I have been struggling to actually put into words how gratefully we all are for Robinson And Lawlor (Renewable Energy)who have supplied and fitted solar panels which has truly revolutionised Blue Bell Having constant warm water and heat and light!!! We work with young adults who often have compromised immunity/circulation/mobility and this act of kindness has simply been a joy....
All our lovely contributors....
Ilkley Rotary Club
Brian Newman and Trish
Laneshawbridge School
Jackie Stobbs, Bouyant

Just wanted to say a Big Thankyou to one of the young men who works and volunteers at Blue Bell.....Corey is such a polite hard working,caring young man and he's started his own business...Corey's Creations, if anyone is wanting a truly personal item...we have had keyrings coasters medals etc you wont find a more friendly imaginitive young man(customer service second to none!!)..so come on lets support our young entrepreneurs❤️❤️❤️
Corey has been working hard on his new venture of making items on a 3D printer; these have included small and large Keyrings, pen pots, graduation teddy, graduation hat, coasters, medals and small bookmarks.
Over the last week or so he has poured his heart and soul into making Key-rings for someone who means the world to him Jane Rogerson who runs Blue Bell Rural Activities along with her partner Russ.
Bluebell is an amazing place for all the young adults who attend there, since going Corey has grown in confidence, loves helping out with the animals and going to Skipton.
These are the Key-rings Corey has made for Bluebell.

We have very sad news...today we said goodbye to Jasper....Jasper had been with Blue Bell for 13+ years a little ginger pig with a tatty tail and torn ear...People may think he was just a pig which he was....but to us he was a special pig he broke down stereo types as he in all his glory sounded and looked quite a fright at times....but he was the most sweetest soul you'd ever have met....goes to show never judge...he became a favourite to all at Blue Bell and he will be greatly missed....
Goodbye our dear friend Jasper....
