The mental health crisis among children is at its worst, with the disadvantaged at the greatest risk. Demand & need for our evidence-based 'Farming, Family, Therapy' programme is greater than ever, at a time when costs are rising for charities. Help us support over 2,000 children nationwide.

Situation
3 years on from the pandemic, mental health services and the school sector are alarmed by the growing mental health crisis, with anxiety, self-harm, and suicide increasingly common in school life (Impetus, 22). With the costs-of-living crisis, unstable home environments, and poor assess to safe outdoor space contributing, those already disadvantaged are being disproportionally affected. Children’s social, behavioral and academic outcomes, and their future life chances are at risk.
Solution
We deliver meaningful and statistically significant impact on children's mental wellbeing, engagement with education, behaviour and life skills. We do this primarily through a powerful, unique residential experience & follow-up programme, whereby children help run one of our six 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.
