About US

Heroes Berkshire was founded in 2001 by Dawn Dingwall. What began as a small community group gradually developed into a supportive network where people could connect, share interests, and take part in meaningful outdoor activities together. Over time, the project grew naturally through word of mouth, drawing interest from families, community groups, and local organisations.

As the project evolved, Dawn’s focus shifted towards creating a calm, purposeful farm environment centred around animal care. Heroes Berkshire is now a small working farm dedicated to the welfare and day-to-day management of a wide range of animals.

Over more than two decades, Dawn has gained extensive experience working in community environments, organising activities, and supporting young people from many different backgrounds. Her work has always been rooted in creating positive, inclusive opportunities for individuals to engage in practical, hands-on tasks within a natural setting.

Today, Heroes Berkshire continues to operate as a welcoming agricultural space where animal welfare, responsible farm management, and community involvement come together.
