Team Leader
START (Support, Transition And Recovery Team)
The Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust’s Support Transition and Recovery Team (START) and Flowerdew Farm are working together to facilitate a group where START patients can have a place to learn and interact with animals (alpacas and goats), where they can feel the benefits of being in the fresh air and countryside, a place where people can volunteer so they can feel part of the community and most importantly a place where they are social included.
START and Flowerdew Farm have agreed to run a group throughout the spring/summer and beyond, people who have attended have said the following
-
‘I feel spiritually topped up’
-
‘After attending a volunteer day I slept the best I have in years’
-
‘Wow, the farm is such a great place, I love being so close with the animals, it has really improved my mood’
For myself as the team leader of the START team I am incredibly happy to be working alongside Flowerdew Farm, its great to see people look so happy and content when they are working alongside Claire.
