Set in the heart of the Cheshire countryside, our 17th century Farmhouse with surrounding 10 acres of land is the perfect place for deserving children of all abilities to play, laugh and simply enjoy being children. Whether the children are here for just a day or for a few days, there is an amazing array of things to see and do…
From mountain trekking, to ladies lunching, to Christmas present wrapping, we have lots going on at the Farm so take a look at how you can get involved.
What we do goes so much further than just a holiday or a fun day; it is creating memories to cherish in the hard times, memories that bring joy in sorrow, memories to last a lifetime.
Our champions of the month are... Joe and Amy Grundy!
Joe and Amy are the children of CAFT's very own founder, Tim Grundy. In 1985 Tim initiated and was at the forefront of a fundraising appeal which resulted in our site, Booth Bank Farm, being purchased. Joe and Amy have grown up with the charity and have remained in contact with us throughout the years. In February this year, Joe and Amy made a special visit to the Farm to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Tim's passing and it was then that we had the idea of formally recognising our special relationship with them by inviting Joe and Amy to become Patrons.
Our lovely new Patrons have this to say:
"It's a privilege and honour for us both to be asked to become Patrons for CAFT. The Farm has always held a special place in our hearts. We'd both like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff, both past and present for their dedication in continually striving towards making our Dad's dream a reality. We know how proud he would have been seeing how CAFT has grown and the number of local children it's helped."
A donation to our charity goes a very, very long way and makes such a huge difference. This was summed up perfectly by Alison Ashley from Hebden Green Special School who brought a group of children for a holiday.
“The Adventure Farm is a magical place. From the moment you arrive, children and staff are treated as honoured guests, dear friends and VIPs! The benefits for the children last way beyond the weeks holiday. Memories and bonds are formed, where even five years later the children reflect on holidays, discussing activities and bringing photographs to our attention. They ALWAYS talk about the Adventure Farm during their graduation, citing it as a highlight of their time in the Primary Department.
Some of our children live with life limiting or severely disabling conditions; the Adventure Farm gives them the time and space to enjoy things they would otherwise not access and these are once in a lifetime opportunities. I consider myself and our school to be friends of the Adventure Farm. Beyond that, I consider myself to be a believer in what the Adventure Farm achieves – a place for love, normality, richness, fun and self esteem to be nurtured and grown. The farm is a truly unique and amazing place.”
