Story
We are raising money in loving memory of Gemma Evans. Animal Antiks was a charity close to her heart.
Animal Antiks is a charity working and supporting children and adults. Their aim is to open hearts, unlock minds and inspire people. They achieve this by operating an alternative provision based on a 230 acre working farm in North Marston, deep in the beautiful, Buckinghamshire countryside. They welcome and support children (from the age of 10 years) and adults who are experiencing various challenges in their lives. This can include physical and mental health difficulties, difficulties accessing mainstream education or being at risk of school exclusion or those facing social isolation and exclusion. Their approach is to create a diverse group of people with various needs, to work together in this safe and calm environment. They get involved with a variety of activities around animal care, animal enrichment, gardening, craft, bushcraft and other outdoor and nature projects. They have found that working on the farm, carrying out these types of activities help to reduce anxieties, increase confidence and builds on life and social skills and knowledge whilst being outside and close to nature.
