вЭ§пЄПрЯЪ≤HELP US BREAK THE CYCLEрЯЪ≤вЭ§пЄП We work with the most vulnerable young people across South Wales all year round as a registered charity Care Farm. Our colleague Mal Sanchez-Jones (Manager) is undertaking a mammoth endurance task, where he will travel the entire Welsh Coastline in an attempt to raise awareness of all the difficulties these young people have and the crucial work we do at Amelia Trust Farm and in turn raise the funds we need to replace Animal Housing for our anim...al therapy. Amelia Trust Farm has a new GROW provision which will help its service users (EBD, ALN and MH) through its Therapy, Education and Work programmes. He will cycle the North coast whilst discussing the need to 'Break the Cycle' of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties (EBD). He will then walk the South coastline whilst discussing what it is like for so many with additional learning needs and mental health issues (ALN, MH). Mal encourages you donate financial support, volunteer support, or to 'Walk a mile in their shoes' with him. ONLINE DONATION PLEASE TO http://bit.ly/BREAK_THECYCLE PLEASE SHARE, LIKE & FOLLOW HIS JOURNEY! GO MAL!

With a history of dog walkers visiting the Farm we thought we would dedicate a day to them and their four legged friends.
Celebrating your four-legged friends can be as easy as giving them a big hug and kiss (if they like that sort of affection)! But for those who want to take their love and appreciation to another level, bring your doggies to the Farm for a great day out.
With maps available on entrance to show you the trails you can have a wonderful time on your woodland w...alkies.
And then after relax in our super dog friendly resident cafe The Farm Kitchen they will be giving away dog treats when you spend £5 or more.
Come and discover a dog friendly Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan which you can make a regular hang-out with your pooch!
Take a pet selfie with your dog and enter to win a prize for the best selfie!
More information to follow soon!
*Normal entrance charges apply £2 per adult £1.50 per child £5 family ticket (up to 2 adults and 3 children) under 2s free Carers free
