EOTAS Provision
We have a bespoke provision for children and young people currently not accessing school or those on a reduced timetable who have an EHCP and are eligible for EOTAS funding through their local education authority.
All our activities are neuro affirming and child led within the safe parameters of our work with our animals and the nature around us.
Our prime focus is on creating a safe, therapeutic environment in which children feel supported to try new things, set positive boundaries and advocate for themselves.
We also link our activities to skills in Maths, English, Science, Music and PSHE where possible.
Where other support is in place, such as occupational or speech and language therapy, we are keen to link up with other professionals to ensure a consistent and focussed approach to designing activities for each individual.
Sessions are available for children aged between 7 and 16 years old and last for between two and four hours, depending on need and approval by the LA.
All children begin with 1:1 sessions but may be offered a combination of 1:1 and small group sessions if appropriate to their individual needs.
We also accept referrals from parents and carers who are in a position to fund their child’s sessions.

Book a slot of EFL
The aim of EFL (Equine Facilitated Learning) is to provide an opportunity to become more self-aware, to recognise emotional states that are not serving us positively and to practice groundwork activities that help us develop skills and techniques which allow us to alter our response. These are skills we can then apply in everyday situations to encourage emotional growth and development and in turn, greater wellbeing.
EFL can help adults and young people to understand and acknowledge their own feelings, to explore ways of communicating these and to develop skills in self-advocacy.

Education, Health, Environment
The Three Bees Project provides specifically designed, age appropriate, active workshops to take into schools, colleges and community groups.
These workshops use the concept of positive psychology to teach pro-active skills for supporting and maintaining good mental health.
There are opportunities for groups from the wider community to visit our rural setting to learn and practise skills in positive psychology. This is achieved by taking part in activities and workshops which also invest in the conservation, protection and improvement of our local natural environment.

Support for all
We create a positive, welcoming environment for adults and young people struggling with mental and emotional well-being: Whether through bereavement, anxiety, social isolation, depression or any other personal challenge, The Three Bees Project provides a therapeutic environment where the support of our fantastic team of animals, volunteers and counsellors will create space for people to safely land, rest and feel held by our community and nature.
We offer gardening, animal care and rural activities to build confidence, develop supportive relationships and a sense of purpose. Counsellors will always be on hand to offer support.
We are accepting referrals from GPs, NHS Mental Health Services, and other charitable organisations.

Book a visit from the Goats
Introducing our special little herd of therapy goats…
This gorgeous team is available to visit schools, care homes, community events, businesses and even weddings to provide a little joy and peace in our busy world.
Goats are naturally playful and inquisitive and our goats get as much out of their visits as the people they are there to meet.
Snuggle up with Tiger-Lily, give Bluebell a tummy massage, enjoy a deep conversation with Hamilton and laugh at the antics of Elvis and Neil.
Whether it’s a birthday party, a wellbeing treat, educational enrichment or the perfect business ice breaker, the team at The Three Bees Project has exactly what you need.
