The Wellington Monument can be seen from almost anywhere in the town.

Way Ahead Care has been providing care in Wellington since 1994 and are pleased to be helping the National Trust raise the much needed funds to renovate the Monument it its former glory.

The National Trust began caring for Wellington Monument in 1934. Since that time it has needed careful renovation every 10 to 15 years, an expensive and unsustainable process given its height. To perform a full repair, returning the monument to the stature that was originally intended, and making this special place a more enjoyable place to visit the National Trust have a lot of work to do. They need our/your help.

Lodge Close Extra Care Housing Scheme is holding a number of fund raising events throughout the year to help raise money for the Monument renovation. Way Ahead Care is also supporting the cause directly having pledged money for a ‘sponsored stone’ as part of the renovation.

Lodge Close are holding a ‘Monumental Quiz & treasure Hunt’ on 24^th April 2019 and a ‘Coffee Morning’ on the 25th May 2019. See pictures for details.
