Outing to Odds Farm

In the Easter holidays, we were able to team up with some of our partner organisations to offer some families a day out at Odds Farm Park in High Wycombe. Odds Farm is an "Approved Farm Park" which provides a unique opportunity for children to learn, have fun and engage with chickens, sheep, goats and more, including some rarer breeds. It may have rained for most of the day but that didn’t dampen any spirits!
​We are grateful to the Englefield Charitable Trust for providing the funds for this lovely day out.

We received some wonderful feedback from the children and their parents/carers:
"Thank you so much for a fantastic day – the children absolutely loved it."
"We loved feeding the animals. The piglets were so cute!"
"Thank you so much, it means so much to us. We haven’t had the easiest few months. Thank you again it was a great adventure for both of us."

Some of the families were referred by Fifi''s Vision which provides support to families with additional needs. Their representative said "Firstly I need to say a Big Thank you to Reading Family Aid as they so kindly and generously gifted Fifi's Vision CIC an Odds Farm trip over the Easter holidays.
I was able to take families from our weekly groups on a coach to Odds Farm where we all had an amazing day even with the rain.
Days out aren't always accessible for many reasons but with Fifi's Vision peer support and Reading Family Aid gifting such an amazing opportunity many families from Fifi's Vision were able to join us and benefit from the family day out giving all much needed respite and family bonding. Thank you again Reading Family Aid".
