How it can help
Stress &
Anxiety relief

Woodworking is an engaging activity, it requires attention to detail, helping to keep the mind occupied. The repetitive motions and meticulous nature of woodworking makes it a wonderful way to relax, helping with stress & anxiety.

Communication & Interaction

Workshop activities are mostly held in small group sessions. Meaning young people are given a platform to communicate and interact with each other about their work. Learning new skills can help create discussion in the group.

Self Esteem & Independence

Learning new skills is a great way to build self-esteem.Creating a product from scratch to completion is a rewarding process. It’s a great help in improving young peoples self-esteem.As skills grow, being able to complete task independently can also help young people with their independence skills.

Fun

Celebration Stories

Peopleton Farm offers a unique environment for children and young adults with learning difficulties who need an alternative form of education, training and skills. My Son has been at Peopleton for 3 years and enjoys caring for all the animals and learning new skills. He has made good friends and developed confidence in many areas, but most importantly the farm has given him a focus and purpose. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who support and encourage him each day.

I have enjoyed going to the as student and I was the first student at the farm. I have been coming to the farm when I was 19 and now, I am 27. I have learned quite a lot at the farm how to tack up the horse with a bridle and saddle, how to muck out straw and shaving beds, how to make the feed for the horse, then poo pick the field, then doing the hay nets and tying them up,  taking the horse out to the field, I have done some AQA at the farm too, I bring the horses back in from the field.  
I enjoyed coming to the farm seeing the horse and seeing and chatting to my friends and working with them. I have got a job at the farm on Friday for 4 hours. I take the horse out to the field, muck out the stables and do their night time beds, get some more straw and shaving, do the hay nets  and water in the stable, sweep the yard and barn. In the summertime I do the day beds for the horse and then get them in during the day as there are flies that annoy the horses so they go out at night time in the field and come in during the day, then we poo pick the field and put the hay nets out for them in the field.Student

We were recommended Peopleton Farm by a colleague. The application and all documentation came quickly and efficiently. We were able to visit and were welcomed to the ‘family’. The family feel runs through the whole farm, everyone is made to feel special and the team take time to find out about the children in their care. Children are encouraged to be part of a team, be respectful and are listened to. The skills they learn are essential life skills and being able to learn them in a calm, safe space where it’s ok if it doesn’t go to plan. The staff are amazing-calm, consistent and kind. They genuinely want to help make a difference to our young people.
