|chieve|ment|s
and Perform|ance|ance|||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
||||SORP reference||||
||||||Our charity looks and feels very different||
||||||post Covid. We have seen a huge increase||
||||||in requests
for us to take in rescue animals,||
|Summary|ofthe main||Para|1 20|with ponies, rabbits, goats, chickens and||
|achievements||ofthe charity,|||alpacas rescued
in the last year. We have||
|identifying|the|difference the|||seen an increase
in people being referred|to|
|charity's|work|has made to the|||us for farm therapy
—children
may have||
|orcumstances||of its|||been out ofschool for nearly two years, and||
|beneficiaries
and any wider|||||the levels ofanxiety and social isolation
are||
|benefits Io society as a whole|||||higher than ever.
We have seen a surge|in|
||||||referrals for young children
(aged 10and||
||||||over) and have successfully
forged||
||||||relationships
with local authorities
and||
||||||many schools.||
||||||We have seen a massive
growth
In need, so||
||||||2021 has had to be about ensuring
the||
||||||foundations
and facilities ofthe charity are||
||||||strong enough to support these people and||
||||||animals.
We've rented a portacabin
to use||
||||||as an office and secondary
classroom,||
||||||we've hired more portable toilets while a||
||||||drainage
issue has stalled the Installation|of|
||||||a permanent
toilet block.||
||||||We've employed
additional
staff and have||
||||||welcomed
a part time Administrator
along||
||||||with several part time Activity Support||
||||||Assistants,
who work directly with the||
||||||members.
A 57% increase
in income is||
||||||largely from educational
and farm therapy||
||||||placements
for young people, while the||
||||||refurbishment
ofthe barns, and additional||
||||||equipment
and feed have increased costs.||
||||||At a time ofsuch huge growth
we were||
||||||Informed
that, due to restructuring,
our||
||||||post-16 training
provider
will not be||
||||||continuing
with an agreement
that no further||
||||||placements
should
be accepted.
This Is due||
||||||to their focus shifting
from commercial||
||||||learners,
to more apprenticeship-based||
||||||placements.
This Is a huge blow to the||
||||||Charity and, potentially,
could leave us with||
||||||the associated costs ofsupporting
students||
||||||who could no longer continue their studies.||
||||||Therefore, after a Trustees meeting
In early||
||||||March 2022 we are investigating
other||
||||||training
avenues
but it has become apparent||
||||||that the impact ofthis change could leave||
||||||the charity vulnerable.||
||||||Alongside
this changing
landscape,
our||
||||||farm therapy work has continued:||
||||||Farm Therapy sessions have been offered|5|
||||||days per week all year —with children
and||
||||||young people attending
during
term time||
||||||and many adult social care members||
||||||continuing
during the holidays.
With around||
||||||150people attending
sessions each week||
||||||during
term time.||
|Wellbeing
Walks have become a staple part|
|---|
|ofour offering,
with grants making
it|
|possible for us to run a minimum
of two to|
|three walks per week, attracting
an|
|additional
24-36 people to the farm each|
|week to enjoy a social, relaxed walk as part|
|ofa group.
These 6-8 week blocks ofwalks|
|have ensured a fresh stream ofvisitors to|
|the farm and have been benefficial to the|
|vulnerable
and isolated members
ofthe|
|community
post-Covid.|
|We work with various
mental
health|
|charities
in the area to offer their clients the|
|opportunity
toJoin In, with us using the|
|community
bus to collect and drop offthe|
|people.
This is a lifeline to many who may|
|not leave their home for the rest ofthe week.|
|Feedback from the walks Includes:|
|"Thursdays
are the highlight
of my|
|week.
Fresh air, good company,|
|worries drift away"|
|"Before starting the walks back in|
|November
I was suffering
with panic|
|attacks, depression
and anxiety. ..the|
|time with the alpacas has honestly|
|improved
my outlook and moods beyond
belief'|
|"Iabsolutely
love everything
about the|
|walks and It's really helped to meet|
|people and help with my anxiety.
My son|
|has also been attending
and he has|
|hardly
been out since Covld lockdown"|
|Our Country
Club (formerly the Countrymen|
|Club) is growing
slowly. Wanting to Increase|
|numbers,
we expanded
the remit and|
|partnered
with the community
bus again, to|
|bring people to the farm.
In 2021 around 9|
|people on average attended
each week.|
|They got involved
in the gardening
and|
|maintenance
ofthe site, including
growing|
|plants from seed, composting,
harvesting|
|and weedingl
They' ve helped to build|
|enrichment
activities for some ofthe|
|animals
and have also taken part in crafting|
|using the wool from our own sheep.|
|One ofour main objectives at Animal Antiks|
|is to support
people to be the best version|
|ofthemselves
and 2021/22 saw one ofour|
|past students
become an apprentice
with|
|Us.|
|T initially
came to the farm with a huge|
|amount ofsocial anxiety and anger.
They|
|are now a key member ofthe staff here, with|
|a fantastic work ethic and are a pleasure to|
|work with.|
|A significantly
anxious student
who was|
|unable to attend school has successfully|
|achieved their Level 2 Animal
Care and are|
|currently
attending
college with their aim|
|---|
|being focused on attending
university
In|
|September.|
|From our initial alpaca walks we have|
|successfully
supported
the transition
of a|
|service user to a volunteer
role, and they are|
|now paid staff.|
|All students
who attend here have an EHCP|
|plan, and a range ofdiagnoses,
many are on|
|a reduced timetable or have been excluded|
|from school, or out of mainstream
school|
|for many years.
Many face severe social|
|and emotional
challenges,
with some unable|
|to speak.
Working
on the farm, caring for|
|the animals
and being either on a one to one|
|basis or in a small group, allows them the|
|opportunity
to achieve, building
confidence|
|alongside
key life and functional
skills.|
|In August 2021 the Nimar Charitable
Trust|
|granted
us E30,000. Coming at this time, it|
|was decided the money would be used for|
|infrastructure
improvements
and equipment|
|—including
gates and fencing to enable|
|access into pens for our less mobile clients,|
|gardening
equipment
to extend our offer|
|and the hire ofthe portacabin,|
|Improvements
to the electrics and plumbing|
|to extend our indoor working areas.
It also|
|allowed
us to take In some rescue goats,|
|and Katle and Kelsey, two rescue ponies|
|who had previously
supported
young
people|
|with disabilities.|
|Funds from three local charities (Heart of|
|Bucks Community
Fund, the William|
|Harding
Trust and the Mobbs Memorial|
|Trust) allowed
us to purchase
laptops for
the office staff and an offic printer,|
|alongside
a small number ofIpads and|
|laptops for the students, so they are now|
|able to more easily access online maths and|
|English work via
an educational
portal,|
|while improving
their ITskills.|
|To aid our income we continue to offer|
|'encounter'
vouchers.
They make ideal gifts|
|and are booked during school holidays
and|
|weekends.
Not only have they been an|
|effectiv way to increase our income (we've|
|raised just under E1000this year) but also|
|offer the siblings ofyoung people attending|
|Animal Antlks the opportunity
to experience|
|the farm.
They' ve also helped those young|
|people not able to commit to a regular|
|placement.|
|Alongside
our regular learners,
adult social|
|care, farm therapy
members,
the alpaca|
|walkers
and country club, we also welcomed|
|families
during
the school holidays,
running|
|holiday sessions for a range of local|
|charities supporting
vulnerable
families|
|includin
Youn
Carers and Autism Bucks,|
|giving over 150people an opportunity|to|
|---|---|
|leave their responsibilities
behind
and|enjoy|
|being outside, engaging
with enrichment||
|activities
with the animals
and taking part in||
|some ofour farm sports such as welly||
|wanging,
wheelbarrow
racing and the goat||
|assault course!||
|Very little ofthe above would be possible||
|without the generous
support of our||
|benefactors.
During 2021/22, we||
|successfully
attracted 38grants and,||
|through
our Open Day and generous||
|donations,
another f13,500 was raised.||
