We were sincerely grateful to Mencap South West and to Hingston’s Antiques of Wilton, and the congregation of Farley Church, (Farley), for sponsoring this pilot project. Following this pilot project plans were made to create and publish extensive resources for church worship incorporating Makaton. This work will culminate in our Makaton Mass (expected publication date late 2021).

We are actively seeking sponsorship to enable MoV to develop further work to benefit vulnerable children and adults as part of an inclusive church community in Salisbury.
