We offer tailored sessions at our care farm to support children who face challenges with attending school such as mental health struggles, low self-esteem, or illness preventing regular school attendance.
Key Features of Our Sessions
- Small Group Setting: Sessions take place in small, nurturing groups to ensure individual attention and create a sense of safety and belonging.
- Animal-Assisted Activities: Hands-on opportunities to interact with and care for our farm animals, promoting confidence, empathy, and emotional regulation.
- Cooking and Eating Together: Shared experiences of preparing meals using farm-grown produce and enjoying them around the table foster teamwork, social skills, and a sense of community.
- Nature-Based Learning: Practical outdoor activities, including exploring woodland spaces and learning skills like cooking on an open fire, engage curiosity and encourage hands-on learning.
- Working Towards AQA Qualifications: Participants can work on achievable goals by earning AQA accreditation, boosting their confidence and providing recognition for their efforts.
- Focus on Well-Being: Calming nature-driven activities provide therapeutic benefits, helping alleviate stress, build resilience, and promote overall emotional well-being.
Supporting Re-Integration to Mainstream Education
These sessions equip young people with the skills, confidence, and emotional stability needed to transition back into mainstream education. By fostering routine, rebuilding trust in learning environments, and developing interpersonal skills, participants gain the resilience and self-assurance to re-engage with school or other formal education settings successfully.
Our program aims to re-ignite a love for learning and empower young people to see a positive future for themselves both inside and outside the classroom.
