We are based on a smallholding, and are open as a day service for people with learning disabilities, autism and other additional needs. We have a range of animals including chickens, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, a barn owl and miniature pigs, all of which have been rescued. We grow food on site and encourage service users to take ownership of plants they would like to grow. We also complete projects and create areas which are beneficial to local wildlife on our site. The project is likely to develop and change along with the needs and wishes of our service users.
We offer a Saturday SEND kids club and days in the school holidays.
We also have a brand new nurture group opening on Thursdays in term time for SEND children out of school, home schooled or in need of alternative provision.
