Wick Care Farm
95% of clients 'agree' or 'strongly agree' that attending Wick Care Farm improves their mental health & wellbeing.
Professionals say...
I refer people to Wick Care Farm because I would expect benefit from the development of interactive skills, general social skills and work- related skills in a number of different areas not particularly related to farming. I would choose to refer people to WCF in particular because of the caring and professional attitude of the staff. My working relationship with WCF is good because of excellent communication; they have a knowledge and awareness of the need to pass certain information on.
They have a straightforward process of referral and the review process is regular and relevant to the purpose of the service user's attendance as well as looking to identify ways in which the service can develop. The feedback from clients is very positive; they not only feel supported to complete the activities but also with their mental and physical wellbeing. They have found the activities stimulating and useful and feel involved in making decisions about what work is going to happen on any given day. The staff manage the blend of different service users well.

Carers say...
"I wanted to say a massive huge thank you for everything you have done for him since his arrival at Care Farm.
He is a different boy to that 12 months ago and is so much happier and settled. Yes, part of that is his medication, and there are other factors, but a significant part of his progress is your work and allowing him to learn and thrive with the trust, faith and care you have both shown in and for him.
The experiences you have given him are amazing and he recognises that it has been a special time.
At home, we have thoroughly enjoyed hearing all about Rosebud and the lambs and cleaning out pig poo!
I have always had faith in his awesomeness but you have helped him see it in himself.
Thank you so so much."
