Some pics from yesterday's AP group. We spent the morning at the yard mucking out and ensuring all animals were happy and content. Followed by creating and cooking homemade pizza & some planning for our Remembrance Day memorial

Some pics from yesterday's AP. We did lots of animal care; including desensitising the boys to traffic to help them remain calm when visiting different environments 🐐 made crumble as part of an independent living skills session following last week's fruit picking 🍏

Well, it was lovely to have our AP group back with us today following the summer break. We did some catching up and tidying in the cabin, visited the animals on our yard (who were very pleased to see so many familiar faces) and then headed off to help pick fruit from an orchard

Some pics from Tuesday's AP group. We spent the day prepping an events gazebo, tidying up the site, grooming the ponies, cutting forage material for the goats, built a treehouse, had a bbq lunch and then leafleted for our upcoming tack sale 🐴🐐🌿 #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Today's AP were very excited to meet the babies 🐐 and had a lovely end to the half term doing some desensitisation work with them, followed by a drive to Bridgnorth to take Worzel for a walk by the river. Sometimes, the things we take for granted can mean the world to someone

Some pics from today's AP 🌿 We started the day exploring stress responses alongside increasing self awareness and went on to meet more Spring babies whilst out on our walk this afternoon 🐶🦆🌿

Happy 8th birthday to this handsome hound 🎂🥳 One of our organisation's original founding members and the inspiration behind our logo, Worzel has helped countless children find their voice and is the best seeker you'll ever find for a game of hide and seek 😁 Thanks

A big thank you to Paul from the Dorothy Parkes Centre for giving up his time yesterday to come along and help our youngsters dig out the foundations of our new pond 😊I have no doubt the ducks will be very happy with it 🦆🦆

[Breathing Space Therapeutic Services CIC @BSpaceUK]

It's always fun watching our animals interact with each other - Worzel tried his level best to get Velvet to throw the ball for him today and couldn't quite understand the lack of effort on her part 🙃🐴🥎🐶💜

Some pics from today's AP group. We.spent the morning at the library doing some animal care research in readiness for our new arrivals 🐐🐐 and finished the day off at the yard doing some field upkeep. Well done all 👍🏼😊

We've had a fab day 2 of Dudley HAF delivery today 🥳 Our therapy dog, Worzel, was onsite making sure everyone felt very welcome and our chickens and ducks enjoyed having cuddles with the kids and the chance for a little sunbathe 🌞🐔🦆

[Breathing Space Therapeutic Services CIC @BSpaceUK]

A MASSIVE shout out to John, who very kindly gave up his Saturday afternoon to come along and help us get the roof put on our outdoor sensory room! Your hard work was very much appreciated, thank you 😊 🥳

Anyone spot the problem in this photo? 🤔 Yep, you're right, the Shetlands have escaped, yet again 🐴🤦🏻‍♀️🐴 #nodaysoff #thegrassisgreener

Today Elsie, Jess 🦆 Hilda and Barbara �� attended our Nature Buddies session at the Dorothy Parkes community allotment. The kids (and adults) learnt about caring for poultry, whilst the ducks were simply overjoyed at the prospect of swimming in the lovely new pond that's built

We're delighted to be delivering the HAF provision again, on behalf of Dudley Council, this Easter 🐣 Free to any youngsters aged 5-12 years who either live or attend a school in Dudley and are eligible for free school meals. Spaces are limited so follow the instructions

Theo has decided, based on Del Boy's recent (appalling) change in attitude, that she'd rather be a duck! Odd you might think 🤔 However, Theo and Del were raised alongside our ducklings as babies and their attachment has never waned
