Business Owner/ Director

Pip was brought up on a small holding in the heart of Somerset. Her parents purposely built their house for her disabled sister to benefit from the space, and gain therapy from the animals they owned. Pip completed her work experience at Fiveways Special needs school in Yeovil and attended Yeovil college passing an NVQ Level 2 in Social Care, before going on to achieve Level 2 & 3 Counselling skills whilst being a carer in the community. She then worked in her family construction business which is where her passion for woodwork and renovating properties took hold. Pip later went on to work for South Somerset District Council installing life line units for vulnerable members of the community, where she gained knowledge of all different types of medical conditions and ailments. More recently, she has worked in the Disabled Facility Grants team at the Council where she assesses the clients long term needs and designs and supervise adaptations within properties, liasing with Occupational Therapists and other medical professionals. Outside of work, Pip has attained qualifications in autism awareness, first aid and safeguarding in order to further her knowledge of assisting the vulnerable community.

 Her desire has always been to set up a care farm for members of the community with learning disabilities/special needs from a variety of backgrounds. She is driven by the knowledge that she has been given the opportunity to share the farm with others, as well as acting as a tribute to her sister who sadly passed away when she was 10 years old.
