The idea
GirlGuiding Staffordshire’s Service Team is collaborating with Glascote Academy to revitalise the School and Community Farm over three days. The project focuses on improving and redesigning key areas of the farm and adjacent forest to create a safer, more stimulating environment for children and adults. This enhanced space will provide opportunities for participants to engage with farm animals, learn about animal care, develop teamwork skills, understand environmental considerations, and support diverse needs. The farm serves as an inclusive haven for educational and community involvement, and this project aims to ensure its continued enrichment and safety.
