Help build the Bradbury Den, an educational space for the whole community

 

We are looking to build a new education space on our therapy farm, Patchwork Farm.

Patchwork Farm is a fully accessible outdoor farm. It has been specially designed to give the young people at Chailey Heritage Foundation a unique, hands-on, multi-sensory learning experience. There are a number of different animals including goats, guinea pigs, ducks and our Shetland pony, NicNac.

Patchwork Farm helps the young people achieve so much more than is possible in the classroom alone.

The 'Den' idea

The Den will be built with local sustainable materials and will connect with the existing barn at the farm, ensuring everyone has a place to gather and enjoy activities, rain or shine!

At the heart of what we do is ensuring that people with disabilities are included, accepted and are valued members of the community. We want to open our doors and invite the community in - mixing students of diverse abilities enhances respect and understanding for every child in our community.

The Den will increase opportunities for schools like yours to use this amazing space, allowing your pupils to gain the educational, therapeutic benefits of connecting with their environment, whilst changing the lives of the Chailey young people.

The Den will be created for everyone and we cannot wait to share it with you!

What you can do at the Den?

  • Engage with your local community
  • Get hands-on bespoke learning experiences, tailored to your schools topics
    • Learn about the environment and life cycles
    • Enhance your understanding of wildlife and biodiversity
    • Understand how farms run and the importance of teamwork and cooperation
  • Connect with the animals
  • Participate in blended session with Chailey young people
  • Host wellbeing sessions and unwind from the busy school term
