Brighter Futures For All

 Reviews

"When I first came, I was a bit shy and reserved. Slowly but surely, I opened up, spoke to people-become a lot more charismatic. My experiences have all been positive- I've gone beyond what I thought I was capable of.  Building structures with Kev and the guys is very fulfilling, especially when I know the building is going to be an integral part of the place - they're going to be used and appreciated, especially on cold days. I have made friends, ones that not just accept me but help me accept myself."

"What I like about the farm is there’s always something to do here. Most of all, I always find people are really friendly here and you can't beat it when you come in and you help and what you do here is so rewarding. It's not like a production line, where you have got to keep moving, moving, moving. If any one of us here is struggling with things, we're okay here. I think that's what keeps all of us going. The staff are wonderful. It was the mental health team that got me in here, the best move I’ve made."

"I found out about the farm through CGL and Cambridge Recovery Skills, who offered everybody to come and do a gardening course. I came to learn about plants and stuff, how to keep gardens nice. Then we get to interact with all of the animals that are here. It's really nice, a lovely atmosphere and everybody is really friendly. Having this on your doorsteps is really good, it's very calm there. And I find having this to offer people especially, that might be in a mental health crisis or just don't know how to fill their time, it's really good to have this here to offer them."
