We also initiated weekly home education sessions, which have been very successful, with feedback that these sessions are a great complement to or expansion upon the core education programme parents are conducting at home. This year, we ran several successful events at the farm, including Easter, Halloween, and a spring event themed on mystical creatures. All events were well attended, with the Easter event proving to be the most popular. Schools advertised the events, which meant we had lots of local children participating. We received fantastic feedback and many attendees visited the farm again. We also attended a local event, The Aldreth Fair, which was valuable in generating interest in and raising money for the farm. There was an unexpected visit from an American university in the spring: some students studying for a postgraduate qualification in sustainable business at Redlands University in Los Angeles, who were visiting Cambridge wanted to visit a sustainable organisation in the surrounding countryside and chose us. We had a very fun visit and one of their students even whittled a pen for us from a branch from one of our hawthorn bushes. The biggest change at the farm was the animal additions – both donkeys and ducks. The donkeys in particular required a lot of preparation before they arrived in terms of fencing and housing, but once they arrived, Aggie and Charity settled like a dream, and people on therapeutic visits have loved grooming and feeding them. We were also given two Peking ducks, March **2012** **TAR** 4 OFFICIAL OFFICIAL ## Section D Achievements and performance Cheese & Quackers: cheese, in particular is a hit with visitors as she is a very calm duck and content to be picked up. We enhanced the site with some swings that have been a fun addition for children that visit the site. And we constructed a large raised bed out of railway sleepers for growing pumpkins and potatoes. For mucking out the donkeys and mulching the site, we got our famous big blue wheel barrow (that so much depends upon). Support from RSPB Operation Turtle Dove has continued, with both seed and advice, helping to ensure the turtle doves return and breed. Finally, we got a lot of social media interest when Graham - our literal and figurative - black sheep went on the run. He covered some distance. And (based on reports) almost made it to Earith. In the end he was captured on College Farm, following a sighting, the assistance of a skilled drone operator, and the patience and efforts of a lot of the trustees and volunteers.* * _Graham seems unaffected by his experience. If anything he is now a more confident sheep._ ## **Section E Financial review** Willlderland Farm CIO trustees ensure that grant funding is applied in **Brief statement of the** accordance with the terms of the grant funding agreement.
