The idea
Hensell Goat Rescue Care Farm CIC provides a unique form of Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) through their lovable rescue goats, offering comfort and joy to visitors at their site. However, with growing interest from care homes, schools, residential facilities, and hospitals, the project seeks to expand its outreach. To bring the therapeutic impact of these friendly goats directly to those who need it most, the farm is striving to secure transport that will make mobile visits possible. This initiative promises to enrich lives and foster wellbeing in diverse community settings.
