With the challenges brought about by the last two years, the demand and need for our transformative, 'Farming, Family, Therapy' programme is proving greater than ever. Having just welcomed our 10,000th child onto our Farms, help us work with 10,000 more in the years to come.

Beneficiaries
1 in 6 children are now thought to have a diagnosable mental health condition (NHS, 2020), there's been an increase in Child Protection Plans in schools, and the attainment gap between disadvantaged children & their peers has been further exacerbated (Sutton Trust, 2020). The unprecedented disruption to education continues to be felt, & those children already disadvantaged are being disproportionally impacted, with their chances to thrive academically, socially & emotionally worse than ever.
We achieve significant outcomes on children's mental wellbeing, engagement with education, behaviour & life skills- the root causes of social and academic exclusion. We do this through a unique residential experience & follow-up programme, whereby children help run one of our four rural working livestock farms alongside a therapeutic, family approach. We also enable systemic change, by influencing the way the education system works to better support disadvantaged children nationwide
