Regular income is vital for the survival of the farm. Can you join us in being a friend of the Farm? 

Your contribution helps us to:

• Safely welcome over 158,000 visitors a year, mainly families where they can meet and feed the animals, engaging in therapeutic, fun and educational experiences, use the playground or enjoy the garden, free of charge.
• Offer work experience for over 260 students a year, 64% of which have identified as disabled.
• Host students who have lost their desire or ability to thrive in mainstream education.
• Offer accessible riding lessons at subsidised prices, we are on average 22% cheaper than some of our competitors.
• Offer educational activities on the Farm: including workshops and guided experiences for school children.
• Run mental and physical health and well-being programmes within the local community
• Support volunteer opportunities for over 190 people a year, of those 43% in 2023/24 were unemployed, and 56% identified as individuals with additional needs.
• Fund our staff to care for the animals and maintain the Farm.
