We support over 3,300 young people each year to enjoy a life-changing, immersive residential on one of our three heritage farms in Devon, Gloucestershire, and Pembrokeshire for up to 39 children aged between 8-18 years, across a Monday-Friday visit. Inclusion is at the heart of all we do, and the charity welcomes young people from city, rural, and coastal communities across England and Wales particularly focusing on serving those who experience significant deprivation and disadvantage.
