Millennium Farm Trust runs Depden Care Farm on a 6-acre site in West Suffolk. The organization provides opportunities for those with learning, physical and mental health needs to experience real work, to learn as part of a team where possible and to develop their self-confidence and work-based skills. The therapeutic benefits of Care Farming are well researched and documented. This type of ‘green’ therapy offers the chance to improve general physical and mental well-being and to gain in confidence and self-esteem through working with the animals and as part of a team. The work encourages responsibility and self-control – and can offer a mindful and calming experience
