This is achieved through active participation in delivering care to farm animals and promoting positive engagement in therapeutic work.
Woodend Farm provides first class living quarters for five children and young people aged 8-18 years. The service provides three en-suite bathrooms, two lounges, a diner-kitchen, and panoramic surrounding of green fields and trees.

Supporting the needs of the young people
Young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as attachment and mental health needs, benefit greatly from the therapeutic nature of the farm. All of the young people at the children’s home present as high risk, are exceptionally vulnerable and are in need of the greater protection available at this service. The family environment, routines and strategies are in line with what works best for the young people. The staff ratios reflect the needs of the young people, offering 1:1 and 2:1 support, and a 24-hour waking service.
