Education that’s alive, bold, and rooted in nature.
Learning is purposeful, learner-led, and full of creativity. From passion-driven projects to skill-building workshops, young people explore, grow, and thrive across arts, sciences, and life skills – all within a supportive, nature-based environment.

A vibrant network of families, volunteers, and local partners, all growing together.

Connection, support, and real-world opportunities happen here. From peer circles to hands-on volunteering, families and young people alike discover that together, we can thrive.

Each Monday, the Nurture Farm becomes a place of belonging for children who need extra emotional support. In partnership with over 30 schools, we offer free six-weekly programmes where small groups, accompanied by a school staff member, spend a full day with us in nature.

Through care, compassion, and the power of nature and belonging, children rediscover their strengths – building confidence, resilience, connection, and joy.

When the school bell rings, children are ‘Wild about Huckleberries’ – where 5–11 year olds come together to explore, create, and connect with nature, animals, and each other. Play-led learning, campfires, den-building, forest crafts, and storytelling help every child grow in confidence, resilience, and joy.

Initially established as a Community Interest Company in 2019, Huckleberries became a registered Charity (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) in 2024. From the very beginning, our purpose has been to serve children and young people, supporting their emotional wellbeing, and educational journeys.

As a mental health and education charity, we recognise the growing challenges that children and young people face, both in schools and in their wider communities. Our work is centred on creating safe, supportive, and nurturing environments where they can build resilience, strengthen self-esteem, and develop the tools they need to thrive, and re-engage in purposeful, passion-led learning.

Huckleberries is a Trauma-Informed Organisation, meaning that our staff are trained to understand and respond sensitively to the impact of trauma. We place relationships, trust, and emotional safety at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every child and young person we meet feels heard, valued, and empowered.

Every day, our young people take shared responsibility for caring for our animals, making sure their needs are met. In doing so, they learn compassion, attentiveness, and collaboration, growing their generosity and kindness toward others, and themselves.

Our farm family includes pygmy goats, an affectionate Golden Guernsey, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, a loving border collie, occasional staff dogs, and our friendly farm cat – all ready to be part of their learning.
