If whole families can experience our mix of ‘Farming, Family & Therapy’ together, we can help the support network around vulnerable children, as well as the children themselves, to thrive. We successfully trialled this approach in summer 2016, and now want to extend this offering further.

Situation
Via our links with local authorities and support services in London, we are aware of families and children experiencing severe difficulties to the extent that they require extra support. This includes child protection issues, children on the edge of care, enduring mental health problems, single parent households, being involved in the criminal justice system, among others. This has the biggest impact on children, who then struggle to thrive socially and in education, affecting their futures.
Solution
In the summer, we will open up our therapeutic programme to whole families and siblings. In this way, we can help the support network around a vulnerable child so that they make positive changes together. A week’s residential equips families to leave stronger, better able to communicate and support each other, leading to greater stability & creating an environment for a child to thrive. Taking place in the holidays allows them to escape normal life and make changes ahead of a new academic year.
