Connecting people to animals, nature and each other

Furry Tales brought different generations together over a love of nature and animals. The highly successful programme ran animal-assisted and nature-based activities onsite at the Farm and at local residential care facilities to combat isolation and increase social opportunities for older people in Tower Hamlets.

Sessions include:

– learning how to health-check & care for guinea pigs, rabbits and bantam hens

– nature-based creative activities

– herb & vegetable growing

– opportunities to socialise with people of all ages
