The eight hundred foot elevation of the airfield and the surrounding topography, creates unwanted turbulence when the wind is in a south easterly direction and Murphy’s law came into operation on that day. We managed to re-book for the 7th May which coincides with our Sunday run, so by the time you arrive, I’ll be able to tell you of my experience (if I come down in one piece!). erched on the western edge of Cranborne Chase, Compton Abbas Airfield has a breathtaking views of Ppractically the whole of the Blackmore Vale.

From then on it grew, becoming busier and busier to have a ‘Full English’ in the excellent café and afterwards as its reputation spread among the flying fraternity. we were shown around the Vintage aircraft hangar and I Clive Hughes has run the airfield for more than twenty got the opportunity to try the Tiger Moth cockpit for size.

    Impact Report 2019/20 Summary of Surviving Winter Appeal and Grant Distribution Our public appeal and corresponding fund supported older and vulnerable people in fuel poverty. Driven by the shocking statistics that there are over 730 deaths every winter *, the Foundation encourages people in receipt of Winter Fuel Payment to consider re-cycling it and donating to help someone in need in Dorset. During the winter of 2019/20 Dorset Community Foundation raised £85,980 from 359 donors helping 238 local residents. Many older people are at risk if they cannot afford to adequately heat their homes, particularly if they have health conditions that are exacerbated by the cold. “I live alone am disabled due to accident and suffer lasting effects from cancer. My house is cold due to two old storage heaters. I have no money to improve my heating or lifestyle, the cold makes my disability worse. The grant will help me deal with the added costs of trying to keep warm this winter.” The grants enable older and vulnerable residents to switch on their heating and pay their fuel bills without worrying about the cost of fuel, which they might not be abe to afford. “The grant will allow me to keep heating on more than once every two days and significantly reduce the adverse impact the cold has on my health. I will also be able to cook more hot meals.” To award grants across Dorset, the Foundation worked with Citizens Advice in Dorset (CAID) and the Centre for Sustainable Energy. Both organisations provided further fuel poverty support to the grant recipients.
