Growing Together
Depden Care Farm offers therapeutic placements to adults with learning disabilities, acquired brain injuries and those recovering their mental health.
Based in Depden, near Bury St Edmunds, our award-wining care farm supports adults with additional needs to progress and live fulfilling lives by providing learning programmes and meaningful work opportunities in animal husbandry, agriculture and horticulture.
About Us
Our rural idyll is home to a selection of animals from horses and donkeys, pigs, sheep and goats to guinea pigs and rabbits, as well as our newest additions the tortoises. Hens and ducks are free to wander and this much loved and well-cared for menagerie ensures that animal assisted therapy forms part of our programme. Take a look around the farm and meet our animals.
Our Vision is that everyone, whatever their ability, has access to meaningful work that builds their self-esteem, self-confidence and self-care and has a place where their contribution is valued and respected.
Depden Care Farm is run by Millennium Farm Trust, a registered charity (Charity Number 1070145). It provides services for the residents of Suffolk, South Norfolk, East Cambridgeshire and North Essex.
Safeguarding
Millennium Farm Trust has a zero tolerance approach to abuse. We are committed to promoting wellbeing, harm prevention and to responding effectively if concerns are raised. Our safeguarding policy is about stopping abuse where it is happening and preventing abuse where there is a risk that it may occur.
We are committed to the implementation of procedures for the protection of adults and children vulnerable from abuse, and recognise our responsibility to ensure all activities take safeguarding concerns into account.
More details of our safeguarding procedures are here and our full policy documents are here. [GN2 Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, GN3 Safeguarding Children]
