Jamie's Farm

At Jamie’s Farm we believe in the innate potential and good in every young person, no matter their background or life experiences.

Our approach

Farming

Visiting young people will be practically involved in all elements of running the farm. This gives them practical, purposeful work to do with really tangible outcomes. Young people have multiple opportunities to succeed, and be recognised for it, which builds their self-esteem and confidence.

Family

We live and work as an extended family on our farms, working together, sharing meals around one table and supporting each other when things are tough. This gives meaningful relationships to young people, both with adults and peers, and models how supportive partnerships can work.

Therapy

Young people will receive therapeutic support throughout their time with us, in a very flexible and responsive manner. Our therapy coordinator will oversee this support and each child will receive both one to one and group sessions while with us.

Legacy

The Jamie’s Farm experience doesn’t stop when young people return home. We will continue to support them through our legacy programme, providing them with encouragement from afar and visiting them in school to help them bring what they’ve learnt on the farm back to their daily lives.
