We welcome people of all ages and abilities, including those with complex, multiple or long-term needs, in a friendly, inclusive and non-judgemental setting in the beautiful Somerset countryside. Based on a 200-acre farm in Norton Fitzwarren, the Centre provides a wide range of accessible spaces including indoor and outdoor activity areas, riding arenas, woodland trail, forest school, sensory room, art and play therapy spaces, a stable yard, an accessible playpark, café and Changing Places washroom. Our work is trauma-informed and relationship-led. Mentors are emotionally available adults who tailor each session to the individual, allowing children and adults to engage at their own pace. This approach enables us to support people with the most complex needs in ways that feel safe, meaningful and empowering. Animals and nature are central to everything we do. Our therapy animals – including horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, guineapigs, chickens and dogs – play an important role in creating calm, connection and motivation, supporting emotional wellbeing, confidence and engagement. Alongside our sessions, we offer a range of volunteering opportunities, and many people who access the Centre go on to become valued members of our volunteering community. To find out more or arrange a visit, please contact the office on 01823 433614.
