Our vision is a city where people from all communities are empowered to experience nature to enhance their health, well-being, and life chances and we use the setting of our urban farm to provide a wide range of educational, recreational and therapeutic support programmes and activities that:
Support children and disadvantaged people to boost their confidence and aspirations via the development of personal, social, life and practical skills
Promote emotional, mental, social and physical health and well-being
Develop environmental awareness and action
Strengthen community cohesion
Create enjoyment and recreational opportunities for those from our local and wider communities
To meet these aims; each year we welcome around 50,000 visitors to the farm, deliver specific training and development programmes, workshops and activities for around 7,000 children and young people and reach over 50,000 more off-site (via mobile farms and outreach delivery activities). We deliver our work via four core project areas; our Farmyard, an Education & Training Team, a Riding Team, and our Training Café.
