Sir Peter Vardy has been a leading supporter of the vision created by the North East Autism Society (NEAS) for New Warlands Farm, near Burnhope, in County Durham.


As well as being a place where autistic people can develop employability skills, the site will become a working farm and tourism attraction as part of the £4.9m development.


In March 2025, Sir Peter led a rallying cry to other North East businesses by pledging a £500,000 contribution towards the charity’s Growing Futures appeal.
