Jamie’s Farm acts as a catalyst for change, enabling young people to thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We do this through a unique residential experience and rigorous follow-up programme, combining ‘family, farming, therapy and legacy'.To date, we have worked with over 6,000 young people and demonstrated significant improvements in self-esteem, engagement and behaviour, in addition to softer skills such as resilience, grit and motivation. We are also having a positive impact on the way educational professionals work with young people displaying challenging behaviour in schools, and disseminating our wider methodology to impact children who have never even visited the farm. During their stay, children are involved with the daily running of our five working livestock farms, near Bath, Hereford, Monmouth, East Sussex and Skipton, enjoying seasonal activities from lambing to hay making, in addition to helping with the preparation of meals, gardening, carpentry, log chopping, horse care, art and participating in a daily walk. The week is also punctuated by 1:1 and group sessions.
