Your sponsorship can make a significant difference

Your sponsorship could make a meaningful difference to the people we support as well as making our venues more accessible to a wide range of disabilities and promoting a more inclusive society.
A truly meaningful cause

About COT

For more than forty years, Canterbury Oast Trust (COT) has been changing lives by empowering adults with learning disabilities through a ground breaking model that combines care and accommodation services with hands on skills training, all set within a thriving working farm and an ancient woodland – both community driven venues.

As we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, we’re thrilled to be named a finalist in the Kent Charity Awards 2025. This recognition comes at a time when we’re ambitiously working to improve and enhance our venues, ensuring they remain truly inclusive spaces for everyone we support.

We would be honoured to include  you or your organisation among those who support us in this exciting journey.
