Jamie's Farm is one of a very small number of charities focused on working with young people of 11-16 years old from economically deprived backgrounds who risk academic and social exclusion.  The Farm helps young people who are struggling with poor behaviour, a lack of engagement at school, low mental wellbeing and self-esteem by bringing them into contact with nature and the natural world through the four farms run by Jamie's. They act as a catalyst for change by empowering young people to re-evaluate the choices they make and change course for the better.

Jamie’s Farm combines Farming, Family and Therapy for the children who spend 5 days living and working on the farms, supported by experienced staff who focus activities on positive and tangible outcomes punctuated with therapeutic sessions. 

Jamie's Farm has supported over 7,000 disadvantaged children since 2009, and now deliver the programme across four farms - near Bath, Hereford, Monmouth and Lewes and also have a city farm in Waterloo.

The impact from 1,148 young people and 270 teachers in the academic year 2017/18:  89% had a higher mental wellbeing score after visiting; 58% of those at risk of permanent exclusion were no longer at risk 6 months later; 100% of visiting staff strongly agreed it was of benefit to students.

I met Jamie's through our wonderful friends, Damien and Ali Stork at Chamonix Hard Cross, who have been supporting them for a number of years.  I am a strong believer in Jamie's and the work they do. The results speak for themselves, and the team is as motivated and enthusiastic a group as I have ever met. They are truly an inspiration. Thank you for taking the time to support this cause.
