Cogges Heritage Trust is the charity which cares for and runs Cogges Manor Farm, a unique historic site in Witney, West Oxfordshire. 

Cogges aims to:
 
·        be a place whose past is understood, valued and enjoyed by all who visit
·        help people to learn about the past, present and future of producing food locally
·        make a positive contribution to all its communities and the natural environment
·        be a place where people of all ages can relax, learn and have fun.
 
Cogges is managed and staffed by The Cogges Heritage Trust, a registered charity (no: 1141906) which was set up in 2011. The site was then owned by Oxfordshire County Council who initially provided funding to set up the new Trust and to enable Cogges to open to the public. In 2020, the Trust acquired the freehold to the site and alongside it, the responsibility for the upkeep of the buildings and land. The Trust receives no ongoing revenue funding and must be entirely self-financing.
  
In addition to income from visitors and events, weddings and activities, Cogges is also dependent on donations, of both time and money. This means we can keep the lights on and the animals fed, offer more for your visit and provide a great team of volunteers.
 
The Trust contributes to Cogges by providing experience and expertise, as well as working on long term improvements, projects and fundraising initiatives to fund developmental learning programmes and refurbishment projects.
 
The Board of Trustees is made up of people representing different communities and offering a broad range of skills. 

You can help the Trust to care for this remarkable ancient farmstead and to develop new and inspiring ways for people to enjoy and learn about West Oxfordshire’s rural heritage, farming and food production. Your help, be that by visiting, volunteering, engaging with our extensive range of activities or making a donation, can make a real difference.
