Story
Children and young people are currently facing some of the toughest challenges in decades. The cost-of-living crisis, ongoing effects post-pandemic, pressures of social media, and other external worries such as climate change, are all having a huge impact on mental wellbeing. Those already at a disadvantage are being disproportionally impacted, causing lasting effects on their life chances.
Jamie’s Farm acts as a catalyst for change, transforming lives through our unique residential programme built around our core elements of Farming, Family, Therapy and Legacy.
2023 is an exceptional year, it marks the start of plans to increase the number of residential farms we have from 4 to 6, to reach more vulnerable young people. Consequently we have a major fundraising need to set up new sites and run our existing ones.
Our supporters and staff have been running the Bath Half Marathon since Jamie’s Farm first opened its barn doors - it's a popular event in the calendar. With the growing need and demand for our programme, we really value every runner in the team and all the people that support them.
Together we can equip more young people to thrive. Thank you!
