WHAT PARENTS SAY
“[We] wouldn’t have known what to do without Change of Scene. It’s the only place where A has been happy and where people have believed in him.”
“I just wanted to say what an enormous difference Change of Scene made to S and how much he loved it. It really had a huge positive effect both on his mental health and coping abilities. It was a life saver and I’m so grateful to Change of Scene.”
“I just wanted to say thank you for today. J came out feeling good about the day he spent with you all today and I could see he was feeling good and relaxed about himself as well. He doesn't find things easy and been through different schools etc. It's rare he tells me about what he has been doing but in the car today he talked about his day in a great way. To have J come out of somewhere totally new to him, feeling relaxed and good about himself and feeling that the day has gone well is such a lovely thing to see. Thank you!”
“H recently received his folder of all the AQAs he achieved, he is absolutely thrilled to have them. It shows he has so many skills that he can use in the future. Thank you for all your understanding, patience and hard work you put in, it means so much. From a very proud mum.”

WHAT ATTENDEES SAY
“Change of Scene is more than a farm, it’s more than work. It’s more like a family to me.”
“I enjoyed picking the lovely vegetables from the garden. The tortoises and Llamas were my favourite. I loved all the animals they were so cute. All the activities were fun especially Uno. The teachers were very kind. Thank you.”
