Chairman’s Summary
Animal Antiks has seen substantial growth in demand for the services we provide both for education and for our adult social care and wellbeing activities, especially coming out of the pandemic. This led to a review of the structure of the organisation to better serve our clients.
In September 2022, the organisation was divided with educational services being separated from our social care and wellbeing activities which remain under the charity. This enables us to donate a percentage of any profit made from the educational business to subsidise some of our wellbeing offerings.
The increase in poor mental health in our local community manifests in numerous ways including social anxiety, loneliness and feeling isolated as well as increased numbers of hospital admissions or burdens on our social care systems.
Animal Antiks is a popular Farm Care and Animal Assisted Wellbeing provider in Buckinghamshire, and we continue to receive referrals from our own Adult Social Care team as well as those from neighbouring counties including Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
These were planted by our Country Club members, volunteers and staff and have continued to thrive since being planted.
We have continued our work with Buckinghamshire Mind and SPACE and held walks for their service users to help improve their mental health and wellbeing. Those who have participated found the walks to have positive benefits including relaxation, camaraderie and feeling revitalised.
With the help of our staff and some of our level 2 animal care learners, we have made visits to care homes as part of their enrichment programmes, taking some of our alpacas into the lounges and even some of the private rooms to meet the residents. The pride is clear to see on the faces of our learners and the enjoyment for the residents is evident too.
Animal Antiks wouldn’t be where we are today without the dedicated team of trained staff and volunteers to support our members and look after our animals. There have been a few changes in the team over the year so plenty of training has been undertaken to ensure everyone is up to date with all appropriate aspects of health and safety, safeguarding, education and animal care.
All in all 2022 has been a successful year with plenty of growth and evident potential to help and support more people experiencing poor mental health, social isolation or learning difficulties improve their wellbeing, social skills and confidence.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our success.
Sarah Kettlety Chair of Trustees
We see over 100 people each week for a wide programme of activities designed to improve mental wellbeing, social interaction and physical activity.
2022 has also seen Animal Antiks partner with the Countryside Stewardship Scheme to improve accessibility on all the farm tracks to allow all abilities to benefit from being outside in the fresh air and walking or working with the animals.
Animal Antiks received over 400 saplings and whips from the Woodland Trust to infill gaps and extend our natural hedgerows and enhance our already good bio-diversity. We also purchased and planted over 2000 hedging whips.

Trustees
Pam Harding, one of our Trustees, has stepped down from her role for personal reasons.
We would like to thank her for her dedication and support as Trustee over the years.
Pam has been a staunch supporter of Animal Antiks since the very beginning so we are all sad to see her leave.
Donna Daniels-Moss remains as Safeguarding Trustee and her input and support for all of our Safeguarding needs is much appreciated.
In light of Pam stepping down, Nick Sear will be appointed as third Trustee.
A Year in Focus
We are pleased to report that we have continued to widen the scope of our services and activities throughout 2022. There is an evident increase in demand for services for people experiencing social isolation, poor mental health and as an alternative to day care centres.
We have been successful in securing grants and funding to be able to offer specific sessions for displaced Ukrainian families living in Milton Keynes, thanks to the Milton Keynes Community Foundation and to introduce a breakfast club for our Education students as part of the Cost of Living funding from the National Lottery. More about these sessions later in the report.
This year has also seen us take in more animals as rescues:
-
Maisie a rescued ewe found wondering alone after clearly having given birth but there was no sign of her newly born lamb(s).
-
Kelsey and Katie, two Shetland ponies came to live with us when their owners couldn’t look after them any more.
-
Hope and JB two traveller ponies who were left for dead.
-
Popeye the pony who was dumped out of a moving van, we think due to his severely injured left eye which we have obviously had treated by our vets.
-
Lulu and her six piglets.
-
Bonnie, Cornflake, Cloud and Mallow the four alpaca girls.
-
DJ, Rocky, Mabel and Steve the rabbits.
-
Gherkin the gecko.

Supporting Young People
Work around the farm has continued and the land is looking good under the watchful eye of Farmer Nick. His small team keep the hay growing, the hedges tidy and the fencing animal proof. This year’s hay harvest was great quality and plentiful thankfully as it helps us be self-sufficient over winter.
It is a worrying trend to see the number of young people experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness and behavioural issues on such a rapid increase. The numbers were increasing prior to Covid-19 but the impact of disrupted education, changes to routines, social isolation and the overall stress living through the pandemic caused has seen this number rocket beyond any predictions.
We have seen the number of referrals to Animal Antiks increase in line with this trend but have noticed that the challenges or triggers are vastly different now to what they were historically. The impact of the constant use of social media, easy access to films portraying violence or unrealistically proportioned characters helped by CGI, make up or costumes and the general speed of life today have all played a part in the change of peer pressure and also lack of self-confidence.
In order to support more young people in and around Buckinghamshire, we have introduced some new activities and now that we have confirmed funding, can launch further initiatives in the coming months.
Post 16 Training Education
Farmer Nick and his team have continued to improve the facilities around the farm, whilst retaining the rural environment. Their work has included improvements to the toilets, locker and changing areas, as well as installing 2 log burners to give some warmth in our indoor areas.
Work has continued in the animal barn improving the accessibility to the pens for our less mobile clients and creation has begun of a dedicated quieter therapy area.
Working in partnership with Haddon Training, we have continued to help students gain the most from further education with specialist coaching on site at the farm.
The placements are work based programs on the farm with some time dedicated to a quieter space for study. Both of which provide a less formal classroom format conducive for Post 16 pupils. Our learners come to the farm on a full time programme throughout term time to complete various units towards their qualifications.
Learners can select from City & Guilds work based Animal or Equine Care accreditation along with employability units Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as well as functional skills (various levels) in both English and Mathematics.
Animal Antiks is also an AQA unit award scheme centre which enables us to offer a portfolio of achievements where students can work towards certificates in a variety of units.
By working together as a team to complete various tasks around the farm, our learners gain confidence and skills to communicate effectively with their peers and our staff and to build up evidence for their qualifications. They are also allocated tasks to carry out as individuals to build skills and resilience.

Day Placements
We continue to provide day placement opportunities for young people to provide both a goal and focal point for those struggling to stay the course of a whole schooling week, or simply give a young person an additional safe environment.
These types of placements can be included into a reduced timetable for a different style of learning to continue in a less structured and more vocational way.
Many young people have benefitted from a day placement with schools and colleges finding a ‘day-release’ program a positive reinforcement and integral part of their students’ progress and educational development.
To mark each learner’s time with us, we created a folder with their own work, some of our favourite photographs and their certificates that they can take away with them as a memory of their time at Animal Antiks.
125 people attended, including Greg Smith MP, and local councillors who presented the awards at the inaugural event which was a huge success.
Change in Structure
As mentioned in our Chairman’s Summary, the new academic year for 22-23 saw Animal Antiks split the Farm Therapy and the Educational aspects of the organisation into two separate entities.
As our education offering is paid for by the relevant local authorities but farm therapy is funded by grants and partnerships, this split ensures that there is a clear divide as to where any funding is spent. However, this does not prevent us using grant or sponsorship funds to provide extra services for our learners in addition to their education and training.
Breakfast Club for our young people – Cost of Living Support
Achievement Awards Presentation Event
Animal Antiks introduced an award presentation event to celebrate the successes of all our learners for the first time at the end of the 21-22 academic year. We decided to combine this year’s event with our Christmas Disco and make a really good night of it all.
The Roman Park Hall in Aylesbury was selected as a great accessible venue and we invited learners’ families and carers to join us and through sponsorship, we were able to provide food, music and a compere for the event. The venue ran their own bar for us.
We have secured funding of £9,999 from the National Lottery’s Cost of Living scheme to enable us to set up and maintain a Breakfast Club for our younger members, including our learners and is separate to any educational cost.
This is vitally important as our staff had found that many of our young people were arriving without having eaten breakfast or not having a sufficiently nourishing meal to sustain them throughout their day with us at the farm. A significant number also arrived without any lunch. The reasons for this varied but not enough money for food within the family/home setting was a common issue. This was leading to our young people not being able to concentrate on the task they were doing, not focussing on their educational learning or not having the energy to perform the manual jobs they had been assigned.
Funding for the breakfast club will enable us to provide fresh fruit, toast, cereals and eggs as well as fruit juice, squash, milk, tea or coffee to drink.
Our young people will be encouraged to understand the benefits of making healthy choices and the importance of fuelling themselves with food that will sustain them throughout the day rather than giving them a ‘quick fix’. By getting involved in making their breakfasts, they will learn valuable life skills including safe food preparation and simple cooking skills. They will also be encouraged to try new foods to provide them with a wider variety of ingredients as they become independent.
Animal Antiks staff also noticed that many of the learners were arriving without suitable clothing for the wet and wintery weather. Some of our funding will be used to provide a range of warm jumpers and overalls to keep our young people warm and dry when they are working outside.

Supporting Adults
Animal Antiks Farm Therapy sessions for under 14’s
This has proved very popular and has successfully helped so many young people gain confidence, build resilience, learn to work as part of a team and realise how their own behaviour effects the people around them.
The interaction with our smaller animals provides a sense of calm and reassurance whilst increasing self-assurance and independence. We focus on support and encouragement to help them cope when they are at school.
These sessions are funded by schools or parents but are subsidised through Animal Antiks donations. Each session lasts for two hours. Our young members usually attend once a week but can attend more if places are available.
Animal Antiks continues to provide activities to combat social isolation, anxiety and depressions for older adults in Buckinghamshire and the surrounding areas.
As with young people, Covid-19 has impacted on the wellbeing of many older adults who have either lost their loved ones to the virus or due to the need to isolate during the pandemic, they have become even more cut off from social activities and now do not have the confidence to go out and about like they used to.
With the Cost of Living crisis many adults have found the pressure to make ends meet and provide a home, food and warmth for their families an increasing struggle. Worry about long-term employment in a world where so many businesses are having to downsize or close is also creating more stress and therefore more mental health issues.
Adult Social Care Supported Placements
These placements enable people with learning difficulties, physical disabilities or poor mental health to come to the farm often as respite for their families or carers or as a more active option to a day care centre.
Our ASC members get involved in many different activities including animal care, gardening, crafts and baking.
Many love nothing more than sitting with their favourite rabbit, goat or sheep, helping to groom the ponies or taking some of our animals for a walk around the farm.
Wellbeing Walks for Buckinghamshire Mind and SPACE Aylesbury
We have worked with Buckinghamshire Mind and SPACE Aylesbury to provide Wellbeing Walks for adults affected with mental health issues. These walks are specifically for each organisation’s service users and allows them to come to the farm and take time out for themselves to recoup whilst getting fresh air and some gentle exercise.
Using our alpacas as walk companions calms and often provides moments of light relief – alpacas choose the most inopportune moments to dive into puddles for a quick dip or will take you to the nearest dusty spot for a dust bath.
Those walking often find they can talk about their concerns more openly when they are not face to face with someone and this is key to helping them find a positive way forward.

Wellbeing Walk and Talk Sessions for the General Public
As well as the Buckinghamshire Mind and SPACE Aylesbury specific walks, we have run walks for members of the public to come along and benefit from the calming influence and companionship of the alpacas whilst taking in the fresh air and stunning scenery of the farm. These walks are always popular, and we have received some fantastic feedback from people who have walked with us.
Each walk supports a different group of over 15 regular adults with a bank of others making the walks generally up to 20 people.
“I really enjoyed my alpaca walks with Animal Antiks. It’s lovely to get out in the countryside to spend time with both the alpacas and making new friends.
My anxiety and PTSD normally render me flat bound, needing carers to help me with daily tasks.”
Care Home Visits
The benefits of visiting care homes are evident by the number of residents wanting to engage with our animals, the number of questions we are asked and the change in energy once the residents see the animals.
Stroking animals is a proven way to reduce stress and heart rates and encourages engagement for those who have become reclusive in their dayto-day behaviours due to illnesses such as dementia or mental health problems. Residents within the homes love to stroke the animals and meet the different personalities.
We usually meet residents in communal areas but where they need to stay in bed, we can take some of our alpacas into individual’s rooms to say hello. The delight is clear to see and we know that care home staff use the visits to theme activities for the residents.
“What can I say?! The visit from Tina, Sumo and Limahl on Thursday was amazing!
So many special, magical moments with our residents that we can’t thank you enough in particular, Paul, Rachel and Harry for their time, knowledge and patience in answering all our questions.
Please can you pass on our thanks.”
Nicky Vin d’Arc, Engagement Lead - St Leonards Care Home, Aylesbury
When we visit care homes, two members of staff are usually accompanied by at least one of our Level 2 Animal Care students. This gives them an opportunity to show what they have learnt about the alpacas and how to care for them plus encourages the students to engage with the residents and staff at the home, boosting their confidence.
Animal Antiks Country Club
Animal Antiks introduced our Country Club to support older people from the local community. Some of our members have physical and/or mental disabilities. This year we have seen a continued increase in member numbers.
Taking that first step towards adding variety to life and experiencing something new encourages a positive impact on both physical health and mental wellbeing. The Country Club offers an alternative to a day care centre for those who prefer to be outside or as a respite for family carers.

Partnerships
The farm and facilities provide an ideal setting to meet the challenges being faced by people in a more mature age group who may be experiencing one or more of the following:
-
Isolation because of deteriorating physical or mental health or a change in social conditions
-
Neurological disorders including Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Stroke
-
Mental Health issues including Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders
-
Other long-term health problems including Cancer, Chronic Pain and Heart and Lung Conditions
We now have 10 members who come each week to take part in activities.
The activities depend upon which season we’re in but include making bird boxes and planters, planting seeds and bulbs and growing salads and vegetables in the garden.
Those who are more active can also join in with walking an alpaca or helping with conservation and habitat renewal.
The friendships that have grown amongst our members have really had positive impacts on them.
Haddon Training
Animal Antiks has been working with Haddon Training to deliver City and Guilds Qualifications for our learners for 5 years. With their representative, Frankie Roberts, working from the farm on a regular basis to check progress and support the learners where needed. Regular updates from Animal Antiks staff on the tasks undertaken and progress made helps keep learners records up to date.
It just goes to show that with the right environment, support and engagement, young people can find a way to gain qualifications. By offering an alternative provision for education that works well for those with anxiety, mental health problems, behavioural difficulties or SEN, Animal Antiks has helped its learners achieve great things.
Our results for our class of 22-23 speak for themselves:
-
7 x Level 1 Animal Care Certificates
-
9 x Level 1 Animal Care Diplomas
-
1 x Level 1 Horse Care Certificate
-
1 x Level 1 Horse Care Diploma
-
4 x Level 2 Animal Care Certificates
-

Employees
We have seen some of our staff develop and move on to new challenges throughout the year which has called for us to recruit new members to the team at Animal Antiks. We are, as always, very appreciative of the ongoing support and flexibility of our amazing group of staff.
From staying late on baby watch or overnight to help with new born feeds, or supporting our service users to achieve a new skill or talk through their concerns, to some of the less glamorous tasks including remedying issues with our drains or toilets there is always someone who will step up and do whatever needs doing.
We will always look to improve the skills and knowledge of our staff as part of ongoing professional development and have held training sessions for safeguarding of both children and adults, mental health first aid, use of new administration systems, safe use of social media, new research into sight or hearing impairment, autism related problems and dementia.
We also offer mental health and wellbeing support for all staff members through individual discussion, whole team discussions or with an external provider, whichever is appropriate. The management team at Animal Antiks promotes a strong belief in prevention rather than cure and actively encourages staff members to approach their manager to raise any concerns as soon as possible.
The team come together outside of work for quizzes, social gatherings, BBQs and meals out which helps build a strong foundation of support and friendship.
Volunteers
Animal Antiks has several volunteers who give up their time to support us either by coming to the farm to assist with activities, by helping to run events or by using their fantastic creative skills to make items to be sold at craft fairs and seasonal markets with profits being donated to the charity.
One of our volunteers drives the community minibus for us which picks up some of our Adult Social Care placements who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend their sessions.
As with any organisation of this type, we welcome any application to become a volunteer as more hands means more activities and support for Animal Antiks.
Dependent upon existing experience and skills, basic training can be provided to ensure that volunteers can work with our service users by assisting our regular staff.
During the year 2022-23 our amazing volunteers racked up 1275 hours between them. Their help and support is invaluable and they are all very much appreciated.

Events
Open Farm Sunday – Sunday 12 June
Open Farm Sunday, managed by LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) is a fantastic opportunity for everyone, young and old, to discover at first hand what it means to be a farmer.
It showcases the fabulous work they do producing our food, enhancing the countryside and all the goods and services farmers provide.
Each event is unique and based around the farm’s individual story.
Activities during the day included a farm walk, nature trail, tractor and trailer rides, demonstrations, pond dipping, activities for children, a mini farmers market or farm shop.
For Animal Antiks, the day was marked with a free event for our service users and anyone else who wanted to find out more about what we do.
Activities included alpaca walks, welly-wanging, tractor rides and wheelbarrow racing.
Of course, there was the ever popular cuddle corner, a chance to get up close to some of our smaller animals including rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens.
Dinton Hermit Quiz Night – Tuesday 14 June
This local pub kindly hosted a quiz night to raise funds for Animal Antiks. Teams of six pitted their general knowledge skills with some wickedly tricky questions but a good night was had by all.
Waddesdon Weekender – Sunday 26 June
We were invited to attend the second day of this year’s event.
With two llamas, four ponies and an assortment of exotic pets, we made our way to Waddesdon Cricket Club for an afternoon of meeting and greeting.
The animals caught the attention of children and adults alike and proved very popular.
Many of the people we saw didn’t realise the full scope of Animal Antiks so it was a great opportunity to raise awareness of what we do at Animal Antiks and explain how we fund these activities and services.
These events also allow us to collect donations which really do help boost our funds and help us provide additional items for our learners and members alike.
Aston Clinton Beer Festival - Saturday 30 July
We took two llamas and some of our alpacas as well as a selection of small exotic animals over to Aston Clinton’s annual beer festival.
This is a very popular community event (could be the beer) and is a great opportunity for people to find out more about what we do as well as for us to raise some much needed funds.
Bucks County Show – Thursday 1 September We took part in our first Bucks County Show. We decided to trust our newest llama boys along with Fergus, Oscar and Coops our alpacas to be the main attraction and they strutted their stuff perfectly, drawing in the crowds.
We also took a couple of ponies and Uncle Norm our vocal statesman of the yard.
Our stand was right next to our friends at @yourbucksradio who did a grand job of mentioning Animal Antiks via their on site station throughout the day.
I nspirations Fair – Monday 10 October Sarah (Animal Antiks) and Frankie (Haddon Training) attended this year’s Inspiration Fair in Oxford.
It was a fantastic opportunity to chat to Oxford SEN Schools, Children and Teachers about the support and options Animal Antiks provides for post 16 training, day placements and animal/ equine care qualifications.

Our Funders and Supporters
This type of event helps us promote our services directly to the teams who are responsible for referring young people to us and inform parents and carers about the benefits of animal assisted learning.
Aylesbury Cheerleading Academy Christmas Fair – Saturday 19 November
Following a lot of hard work from our students and supporters, led by Karen Place with woodwork ably provided by Paul, we attended the ACA Christmas Fair. Two of our fantastic members of staff manned the stall and sold the beautiful and useful items made by students, Country Club members and our supporters. All proceeds came back to Animal Antiks.
Springhill Christmas Fair - Saturday 3 December
This local outdoor Christmas fair was an ideal opportunity to take more of our fabulous items, made by students, staff and supporters alike out to the public. They provided great ideas for Christmas presents and stocking fillers.
A bonus (apart from the chilly weather) with it being outdoors, we were able to take a couple of our friendly llamas too.
A lovely event with plenty of people to chat to. Again, any proceeds came back to Animal Antiks.
As always, we cannot do what we do without the support and funding we receive from trusts, charities and organisations as well as the private donations collected when we attend local events. With the increase of referrals following the pandemic, every penny counts and goes towards providing support and a safe space for as many young people and adults facing the challenges of poor mental health, isolation or age related illnesses as we can.
This year, we would like to thank the following for their continued support:
Heart of Bucks
National Lottery Reaching Communities
The Clare Foundation
Buckinghamshire Council The Dinton Hermit Woodland Trust Countryside Stewardship
