Stop Press – Exciting News
We won the Good Morning Britain 1 Million Minutes 2023 ‘Animal Loneliness Champion’ Award
We are so proud and just a bit excited to have been presented with this amazing award!
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.
Take a look at the video below – you can see our story and then watch the presentation which took place on 15 December at GMBs London Studios.
Welcome to Animal Antiks
Animal Assisted Learning and Therapy
Our Aims
Our aim has always been to help support 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!
