Trailer for animal visits to school & local groups
We want to take our animals and resources out to children and disadvantaged adults - and enable them to physically experience a wider world.
Project Overview
We are passionate about helping people to grow, not just crops, or animals, but in themselves. By building confidence through offering new experiences and skills, our qualified team of volunteers, teachers and well being assistants, ensure that everyone we work with is supported to reach their full potential. Engaging all ages, particularly those affected by poverty, isolation, ill health and unemployment - we use our community land to help grow lives and opportunities. For many though, our land is currently a step too far - so working with local schools, community groups and organisations we want to overcome this barrier by taking our unique work out to them.
The money raised will buy a trailer and portable resource centre that will take our community farm directly into the community, ensuring that life changing new experiences like stroking a sheep, can be had by as many people as possible. Our vision is to engage, empower and enthuse those we work with - and through our approach we will help those we reach to gain new experiences and develop new opportunities for changing their lives.
Check out the live projects we're supporting
Alex Wish Duchenne Virtual Ward Project
Alex's Wish is a charity dedicated to conquering Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. A progressive, life-limiting muscle-wasting disease that affects 1 in every 3,500 boys born. We are a family-run charity, set-up by Alex's parents 13 years ago after discovering there is not enough funding going into medical research to find treatments and a cure for those living with Duchenne in the UK.
Rainbows Hospice Gardens
Rainbows cares for hundreds of families every year who have a baby, child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most. We support every baby, child and young person to fulfil their potential, and help families make the most of every precious moment, while capturing memories and keepsakes to treasure. We’re here for the whole family, offering comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after. Simply put, we’re here to brighten short lives, and support families, wherever they are.
Forever Stars
Forever Stars is a registered charity run by volunteers, dedicated to supporting families experiencing baby loss, including early miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss. We offer compassionate assistance from the time families are in the hospital and throughout their lifelong journey of grief. Our services are available to all family members, regardless of when they seek support, whether immediately after their loss or many years later.
