SAVE-Animal Assisted Therapy for Mental Health
Caterham, Surrey, United Kingdom
Aim: We need to save our Farm to continue our Ethos. Helping many young people with a vast array of needs cope with the challenges life brings.
We have an experienced team including volunteers that help us deliver Animal Assisted Therapy to many Young people throughout our community that are experiencing various challenges in their life. Animal Assisted Therapy improves peoples mental and physical health whilst providing opportunities to socialise and improve emotional wellbeing through the connection with the animals. We use a therapeutic approach in an amazing setting that achieves beneficial results. Helping people achieve their goals and be able to cope with daily life is what we do. Everyone should have the opportunity to have purpose and feel good about themselves.
To continue our incredible work we need your HELP. Where we are based and currently renting is being sold and we are wanting to raise the money to purchase the facility for us to continue the service we offer. Everyone that comes to the farm is in awe about the surroundings and how it makes them feel. Your money will secure a place for the community to use and volunteers to enjoy farm life and improve life skills. We are supported by many local councils to support vulnerable children and BBC Children in Need has funded a project we have done in a school. We have many care homes where our Animals visit the elderly to provide smiles and companionship. we attend schools. We visit a centre that supports Adults with Learning disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives. We would be offing work placements for them to help at the farm and
