Yewstock Mini Bus

Exceptional Grants – The Festival does periodically award special grants.

In 2025 the Cheese Festival together with the Sturminster Newton Rotary Club awarded Yewstock school sufficient funds to enable them to purchase a replacement minibus for their older vehicle which had reached the end of its life. Yewstock provides education for children having complex needs and the new vehicle will enable the school to offer outside educational activities aimed at helping pupils understand the more complex world beyond their families and their school.
