Outreach sessions from Alternative Acres offer a valuable opportunity for individuals who are less able or have limited mobility to experience the therapeutic benefits of nature and animal interaction without needing to leave their familiar environment. By bringing friendly animals and sensory-rich activities directly to care homes and residential settings, we create a calming and engaging experience that promotes emotional wellbeing, reduces anxiety, and encourages gentle stimulation. These sessions are especially beneficial for individuals living with dementia, physical disabilities, or social isolation, as they can foster connection, spark joyful moments, and provide comfort in a way that is both accessible and inclusive. Delivered during select times of the year, particularly school holidays, our outreach ensures everyone has the chance to benefit from the warmth, calm, and companionship that the farm can offer.
If you feel an outreach session from Alternative Acres would benefit someone you know or an organisation you work with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re always happy to discuss how we can tailor our visits to meet individual needs and provide a meaningful, therapeutic experience for those who may not be able to access the farm themselves.
