Food for Thought is a transition project engaging disabled young people in meaningful activities working in a garden and farm environment to develop work skills as part of a team which will in turn build their confidence, self-esteem, raise their aspirations, support social interaction and encourage a positive outlook on life.

Each person attending will take part in gardening activities; digging, sowing, weeding, watering, picking. They will taste fruit/vegetables and learn where food comes from. Activities (in/outdoors) vary depending on time of year, weather and abilities/interest within the group, as well as how physically demanding they are so that each individual can have a go at their own pace.

Activities will:
• Be fun and meet needs identified by children and young people
• Be based around horticultural activities and growing food.
• Improve the aspirations, confidence, resilience and self-esteem based on the belief that all children and young people can and will succeed
• Enable children and young people to develop lifelong aspirations and contribute positively to the lives of those around them
• Enable children and young people to feel happy, healthy and safe
• Be accessible and free for attendees
• Enable children and young people to make friends
