***** Green Care Quality Mark Awarded since Oct 2022 *****
A day service based around small scale food production, charcoal making, animal husbandry, ceramics and art projects.
Currently we have a flock of ex-battery rescue chickens, pigs and grow fruit and vegetables in poly tunnels, a fruit cage, raised beds and an acre of land.
We have a pottery and a sculpture trail woodland walk for people to enjoy and help to develop.
We have a community apple juicing initiative which is entering its fifth year to great success.
Our Wheelie Good Idea, independent living aid refurbishment project is another project of which we are really delighted! In this project we source and repair old and unused wheelchairs and pieces of mobility equipment which we then export to the developing world where the need is huge and a wheelchair can truly be a life changing piece of equipment.
We run accredited training, running courses in a huge range of areas from horticulture and creative arts to setting up your own business, wheelchair refurbishment and self empowerment.
Several of our staff have been on Total Communication courses to improve our non-verbal communication skills.
