Different experiences available through Big Fish Project
Opportunities for Home-Educated Young People on a Care Farm
We’re offering a unique opportunity for home-educated young people to gain confidence, develop social skills, and engage in hands-on experiences in a supportive farm environment.
Our care farm is designed to support neurodivergent individuals who may struggle in traditional education settings. We recognise the challenges of navigating SEND systems and school structures, so we’re focusing on creating an alternative space for those who are permanently home-educated or have chosen this path due to neurodiversity or mental health needs.
1:1 Sessions – Personalised support tailored to build confidence, social skills, and practical abilities.
Teen Social Groups – A structured, safe environment for neurodivergent teens to connect and form friendships as well as work on the farm.
This programme is self-funded, Our goal is to provide a pathway to future training and employment while maintaining a flexible and supportive approach.
