Farm-Based Activities at Blackbird Farm

Heroes Berkshire is based at Blackbird Farm, a calm working farm environment where animals and everyday farm life provide opportunities for practical, hands-on involvement.

Children and young people taking part in Heroes Berkshire programmes can become involved in appropriate animal-care and farm activities, including feeding, grooming, cleaning animal areas and helping with everyday routines.

We provide structured and purposeful farm-based opportunities for individuals who benefit from learning through practical activity, spending time outdoors and being around animals. Participation through Heroes Berkshire is arranged on a pre-booked basis during term time, helping us provide a calm, supportive and consistent environment.

Animal welfare remains central to everything taking place at Blackbird Farm, while involvement in genuine farm routines gives participants opportunities to develop confidence, responsibility, practical skills and a sense of achievement.
