Mark Garnier was a guest of Stourport resident John Dover at the HQ of Care Farm UK at Holt, south of Stourport on Severn. Care Farm UK is an organisation that seeks to help individuals find stability in their lives through activities surrounding farming. People who have been helped include recovering drug users, rehabilitating offenders, mental health patients, people with special educational needs and newly retired ex service personnel, as well as many others who benefit from being given the responsibility of nurturing crops and animal husbandry.
After the visit, Mark commented: “This was a fascinating, but too brief visit to the Care Farm HQ. The benefits given by this type of approach are clearly huge and the results appear to be very good indeed.”
