What we do
The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust is based at the beautiful Booth Bank Farm, a 17th Century farmhouse set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. We provide a variety of free programmes for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children from all over the North West.
CAFT helps children of all abilities aged 17 and under. The needs of the children visiting the Farm are complex and range from severe physical and learning disabilities, sensory impairments and terminal illnesses through to children who act as carers for a family member, have already faced bereavement and who have witnessed and been victims of abuse.
We have a range of programmes to offer, each suitable for children of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. These include:
Outdoor Day Visits
Groups or individual families can enjoy an action packed day visit to the Farm. For 2 fun filled hours the children will be able to enjoy our outdoor spaces including our friendly farm animals, our exciting play park and our woodland full of adventure. You can apply for a day visit throughout the year through our Facebook page.
Holiday Programme
Residential stays for groups or individual families onsite at the Farm. With 10 acres of land and plenty of fun facilities and engaging activities such as arts and crafts, games in the sports hall with the inflatable slide, plus playtime in the games room, music room and sensory room!
Seasonal Activities
Each year we run 4 themed activity programmes including Easter, CAFTFest (our accessible summer festival), Halloween and finishing the year with magical Christmas visits to our Winter Woodland. Every child gets to meet Santa Claus and take home a gift, as well as special memories.
