Empowering Futures supports people in our community living with disabilities, vulnerability, or isolation.Using horticulture and animal-assisted therapies, we enhance well-being, encourage inclusion, and build practical skills. We create safe, supportive spaces where individuals can connect, grow, and gain confidence. Guided by the Social Model of Disability, we focus on strengths and remove barriers. We also work with local services to strengthen community support.

Our primary focus is offering skills in horticulture, cooking, woodwork and craft, alongside employability skills to those who struggle to attend a bigger college setting. We collaborate closely with local experts in horticulture, art and willow for example, and work with trained therapists to ensure we offer everything our co-farmers need to move forward and take steps to become independent.

Why choose us?

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected, celebrating our diversity. We appreciate the contributions of all community members, including our users, volunteers and others. We are committed to maintaining high standards through regular review and evaluation of our work.
