The Geffrye Museum presents the changing style of English middle-class interiors from 1600 to the present day through a series of period rooms. It is set in elegant 18th century almshouses with attractive gardens, including an award-winning herb garden and a series of period gardens (open April to October). An imaginative programme of events for children, families and adults is run throughout the year.

Genetic Alliance UK is a national charity with over 200 patient group members. We support all those affected by genetic, rare and undiagnosed conditions. We upskill patient organisations and conduct our own research while also supporting research and innovation in this field. We are experts in health policy and, in collaboration with our members, have driven home positive changes for patients and families. As a charity, we also run the campaign Rare Disease UK and the national support network SWAN UK (syndromes without a name). Our aim is to ensure that high-quality services, information and support are provided to all who need them.

The Geranium Trust offers friendship and support to anyone regardless of age, faith, ethnicity, status or sexual orientation who is living with loneliness, bereavement, and feeling isolated.

Yeovil, Somerset where we offer the hand of friendship to all who may need it. Please visit our website where you can find out more and, if you wish, make a donation towards our work. Thank you! ​
