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
See the Furry Tales feature in the Metro.
‘The lovely feeling I get – I feel good – it’s therapeutic… This animal is so happy, it’s making me happy too.’
