Working in partnership
Farm Therapy with SCNE at the Farm.
We are proud to be in partnership with SCNE at the Farm, where we have developed our Farm Therapy programme, providing children and young people with SEND the opportunity to connect with animals, nature and the outdoors in a supportive environment.
What to expect
Positive experiences in the outdoors.
Farm Therapy offers a different kind of setting where children and young people can encounter animals, explore nature and build confidence through supported experiences.
Explore nature
Time outside can offer space, fresh air and a change from everyday environments.
Try something new
Small, positive experiences can help children discover interests and build confidence.
Go at a comfortable pace
Young people can take time to observe and engage in the way that works for them.
Why it matters
Learning can happen beyond four walls.
Outdoor and animal-based experiences can create memorable opportunities to practise confidence, curiosity and calm participation in a different environment.
- New experiences with animals
- Outdoor sensory discovery
