We benefit the community by changing lives. We help people with mental health issues to continue their education, start work or return to work. We help families to stay together. We help people going through difficult times to face their challenges positively. We help people with autism to achieve more. We help young people with neurodiverse conditions to develop the skills necessary to get jobs in falconry as less that 15% of autistic people in the Uk get jobs.
Our impact on the community
We offer sessions that are designed to engage people in subtle ways, by using specially trained animals in our work we get through where other interventions haven't worked. We work with 100s of children, young people and adults every year. We improve self esteem, confidence, general wellbeing, reduce isolation, improve opportunity for employment.
