Willowdene Farm’s traditional farmhouse accomodation provides a relaxed, informal and respectful atmosphere that promotes a sense of well-being and security in residents, facilitating healing, recovery and growth in the individual.

A healthy, family feel encourages mutual respect and teaches residents, many of whom have never experienced a positive family environment, how to establish constructive relationships and protect their identity in a group setting.

Willowdene Farm has mostly Christian staff. The household is run and structured around Christian values and beliefs, and residents are asked to respect this, but are never required to adopt Christian practices or attend Christian events; though they are free to do so should they wish.

The relaxed, informal and inclusive atmosphere is an essential part of the process of enabling men to deal with their past in order to release their potential; encouraging them to realise their hopes and dreams, and to embrace a future filled with purpose.
