The Trustees are pleased to report a grant award to Living Potential Care Farming.
Living Potential Care Farming, based in Wetherby, is a non-profit community interest company with a mission to improve lives through meaningful, nature-based activities. Their core focus is on harnessing the therapeutic benefits of farming and the natural environment to enhance well-being, promote inclusion, and encourage personal growth.
The organisation is dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities, neurodiversity, or mental health challenges, providing opportunities to build confidence, develop skills, and foster independence. By creating a safe and supportive environment, they empower participants to overcome barriers, achieve their potential, and gain a sense of purpose.
A key part of their mission is addressing social isolation. By bringing people together in a collaborative setting, Living Potential Care Farming helps to reduce loneliness and create a sense of belonging. Participants are encouraged to form meaningful connections while engaging in activities that promote physical and mental health.
The organisation is also committed to education and skills development, offering participants the chance to learn practical skills through activities such as gardening, animal care, crafts, and cooking. These experiences not only enhance individual capabilities but also provide pathways for personal growth and self-sufficiency.
Sustainability and environmental awareness are integral to their work. Participants are introduced to ecological practices such as organic farming, conservation, and recycling, fostering an understanding of sustainable living and environmental stewardship.
Through their programmes, Living Potential Care Farming also advocates for inclusivity, raising awareness of the value and potential of people with additional needs. By collaborating with families, communities, and local services, they work to ensure greater support and recognition for marginalised individuals. Their mission is to transform lives, promote resilience, and create opportunities for everyone to thrive while connecting with nature.
