    Situation

    1 in 7 11-16 year olds have a mental health disorder; 45% of these young people leave school before the age of 15; and each day 41 children are excluded from school. Deprivation & issues impacting children’s chances have been exacerbating by COVID-19. A prolonged absence of structure, routine, exercise, meaningful work and interaction with both their peers and adults will have long lasting damaging consequences on many children, with those already disadvantaged being disproportionally impacted.

    Solution

    Jamie’s Farm works in partnership with the education sector to offer a preventative solution empowering children to thrive in education, society & beyond. We aim to improve behaviour, engagement, essential life skills & wellbeing-the root causes of exclusion. Our programme involves a 5-day farm residential & follow-up, where children are given real jobs with tangible outcomes, e.g farming, gardening, cooking & horse work. Therapeutic sessions focused on positive praise setting them on a new path
