We are so excited to bring our local Young People a new opportunity to spend time at the farm. We know that KTCF is a safe and happy place for so many people, and research shows that being in and around nature and wildlife improves wellbeing. With that in mind, we are starting a series of 5-week sessions for Young People aged 8-16 who would benefit from this extra time on the farm. We will be using the entire farm, from our animals and gardens, to our local wildlife.
Each group is for a maximum of 8 Young People only to ensure these wellbeing sessions are as effective as possible. Whether your Young Person is finding it hard with school, exam stress, has either long term or temporary issues affecting their wellbeing, or just needs a regular break on the farm each week, these sessions are for them.
As this is a small and very new programme, we won’t have any SEN support workers available, but if your child would benefit from attending you are welcome to bring their 1:1 support worker with. Please let the office know ahead of time.
Kit list
- Wear old clothes that are easy to clean/okay to get mucky – we are a farm.
- Shoes need to be waterproof – wellies or walking boots are perfect.
- We are heading into chilly season – wear warm layers that can be discarded if it is warm.
- Bring a waterproof jacket in case of rain.
- Bring a water bottle – hydration helps wellbeing.
Please contact the office info@ktcityfarm.org.uk with any questions.
Each group runs for five weeks at a time, so if you can’t make the current one, more will be coming up! Please sign up at our booking page.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm!
