Animal Assisted Learning

Our Aims

Our aim has always been to help support and create a diverse group of people with various needs, provide a safe and calm environment in which each individual can learn and grow.

Working in groups as well as supported independent working, our young people are involved with a wide range of fulfilling tasks. Our farm environment encourages animal care, animal enrichment, gardening, crafts, bushcraft and countryside appreciation. Whilst working on the farm, carrying out these activities we have seen wonderful results with young people flourishing. Reduction in anxieties, increased confidence, willingness to interact and becoming a valued team member, taking responsibility, care of others, and an overall increase in positivity to attempt new tasks.

Building on life, social skills, and expanding knowledge whilst being outside and close to nature has an amazing and positive effect on so many!
