Heeley City Farm have a number of initiatives to help the animals and people. Farming Comes To You (FCTY) is one example. The initiative was set up by The Heeley City Farm Dementia Department (alongside The Valerie Foundation). Through this initiative, animals from the Farm are taken to care settings for Animal Assisted Therapy sessions so that people who are isolated, living with dementia and potentially missing the outside world can interact with animals.
Find out more about the animals at the farm and the projects they run by visiting their website.
