Our Charity
Did you know? The Rare Breeds Centre is owned and run by a charity, Canterbury Oast Trust (COT). We support adults with learning disability to take control of their lives, by providing training, homes and work experience.
Many residents and students work and live on-site at the Rare Breeds Centre, and your visit helps us to continue our work.
Look out for our Art at the Farm on sale in the Granary Restaurant – beautiful, hand-crafted textiles, paintings and ceramics made by COT artists.
You can also visit some of our other Life Skills projects, like the Coterie Team Rooms in Rye, and the beautiful Poulton Wood, in Aldington.
Thanks for your support, it means a lot to us.
