Beneficiaries
Situation
Children have been disproportionately impacted by years of disruptions & inconsistencies at school, and a continuing lack of support networks. Financial pressures are hitting the most vulnerable the hardest with the poorest families, children with SEND and those from single-adult households having greater behavioural, emotional, and attentional difficulties (Co-SPACE, 2023). Rates of a probable mental disorder in young people is at an all time high of 1 in 4 (NHS, 2022).
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 5, soon to be 6, working livestock farms alongside a therapeutic, family approach. We also enable systemic change, by supporting teaching professionals to works to better support disadvantaged children nationwide.
