Recipient Org: Description Farm Ability is a unique and innovative project supporting adults across Oxfordshire with autism and/or learning disabilities to become 'co- farmers' on the farm, where they learn how to care for animals, countryside and horticultural skills and how to prepare healthy food. We value the positive health benefits from working with animals and nature, and are passionate about removing some of the barriers to physical exercise and accessing the outdoors which many adults with learning disabilities face. Our co-farmers spend most of the day in the fresh air engaging in a range of meaningful activities, including: collecting and grading eggs, feeding farm animals, working in an organic garden, tree planting and preparing food with fresh farm produce. The project provides a hands-on programme of training, equipping participants with real world skills to transition into work and live more independently. Through this, they learn that they 'can do', raising confidence and ultimately achievement.
