Supported volunteering
Do you know someone with additional needs who has an interest in animal care or gardening? They might want to join us for the final round of our Supported Volunteering Project.
This 8-week programme offers a supportive environment where people can explore volunteering and work opportunities in areas like animal care, farming, and gardening. It’s designed for people who are out of work, aged 16+, and living north of the Tyne who need a bit of extra support due to a mild or moderate learning disability, anxiety, mental health concerns, or other difficulties.
It’s a great opportunity to connect with others who have shared interests while gaining skills and confidence. Here are some of the details:
1 day per week for 8 weeks, starting in January 2025
Fridays
10.30am - 3pm
Employment and wellbeing workshops
Group volunteering in animal care and horticulture
If you know anyone who would like to take part or you would like some more information, email our Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Smith: sarah.smith@ouseburnfarm.org.uk.
This project is funded by the UK government through The North East Combined Authority.

the mantra we live by
This is a place for growing.
Plants, fruit and veg, animals, but most of all, people.
We cultivate joy here. And learning.
We nurture self-confidence and a sense of belonging.
You’ll feel it as soon as you walk through our door.
Lives are being enriched. Needs are being nourished.
It couldn’t happen without our volunteers. Or your donations.
We’re a charity. Run for people, not for profits.
A community-spirited place where everyone is welcome. And valued.
This is a happy place.
A wholesome place. A human place.
