News and Other Exciting Things
We have just been awarded the Green Care Quality Mark by Social Farms and Gardens!
The Green Care Quality Mark is a quality assurance accreditation for green care providers. A sector-wide standard to show that organisations are safe, professional and caring.
The Quality Mark shows that you run a safe, professional organisation and look after the people and animals in your care. You might be a care farmer, a community garden offering Social & Therapeutic Horticulture, an Animal Assisted Therapy provider or involved in any other type of land-based delivery. It also helps you to understand the requirements of commissioners, referral agencies and service users.
FREE visits for registered childminders looking after SEND children on Monday mornings in term time!
Come to our fabulous farm in North Marston, meet our animals, learn fun facts, and cuddle with our small animals, including guinea pigs and rabbits.
An ideal outing for children who struggle in busy environments or who need a bit more support. The only other people at the farm will be our staff and students. Your guides will ensure you have space to enjoy your time with us.
We made the ‘BIG TEN’ for The Clare Foundation’s Angels Den!
So excited to have been shortlisted from over 65 applications for this year’s Angels Den.
The ‘Big Ten’ will come together on 11 September for the Angels Den event, where we will pitch for funding for our projects. The Angels will then decide how much each project will receive.
We will let you know more about our project and how we get on after the event.
We won the Good Morning Britain 1 Million Minutes 2023 ‘Animal Loneliness Champion’ Award!
We are so proud to have been presented with this amazing award on 15 December at GMBs London Studios.
It is in recognition of the work we do to help reduce loneliness and isolation through animal assisted therapy and farm care activities. We couldn’t achieve the positive outcomes we see without the support and hard work of the whole team here at Animal Antiks so a huge thank you goes out to all of our staff and volunteers.
