Educational Farm

CATCH believes that opportunities to work with animals and plants provide unique opportunities for learning and developing skills. Young people designed and built our educational farm which is now home to our pet goats, growing areas and polytunnels.

They sourced materials and donations from a range of businesses and the farm is now maintained daily by a team of young volunteers providing high-quality animal and plant care. Our Educational Farm is also a vital resource for local schools to support with outdoor learning.

Your support is important to us!

CATCH relies on your generous donations to keep the lights on! Our community space provides a much needed hub for the community in particular for vulnerable young people, so they have somewhere safe to go, something to do and someone to talk to 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.
