Story
Able Hands Together (CIC) is a community interest company, which provides an extraordinay life-changing experience for adults who have learning disabilities. We like to refer to those who use our service as Co-Farmers. We will teach transferable skills to aid development and independence whilst stimulating their minds and aiding emotional and social skills.
Able Hand Together have previously had tools stolen from the farm, recently lost a flock of Chickens to a fox attack. After these events they has slowly been recovering from the losses. Now the Therapeutic Farm have been targeted 'again' from thieves who have stolen vital equipment and tools. This impacts massively on this amazing service and their co-farmers who gain so much from this provision.

6 years agoWork on a therapeutic farm can help put someone’s life back on track by providing meaningful activity and a practical daily structure. The activities undertaken are real and based on the daily, weekly and seasonal jobs around the farm. The benefits, of being outdoors in the fresh air and working with animals, improved mental and physical health; are now becoming more widely recognised by health and education professionals.
