Within every one of us is the potential to lead fulfiling, purposeful lives. For many, that potential lies dormant, untapped and undiscovered because of the circumstances of a past filled with obstacles.

Willowdene Farm offers purposeful skill-based learning, provided by Willowdene Training, in a non-institutional setting; offering residents the chance to acquire skills that have practical applications in real work situations, and open doors to careers with long-term potential and satisfaction.

Using creative techniques and state-of-the-art facilities, including a fully equipped welding lab, IT suite and engineering workshop, Willowdene Training provides tailored training solutions to meet each resident’s needs. By focusing on outcomes and not performance, Willowdene Training works with each resident to unlock skills and potential, with most residents gaining over 20 nationally recognised qualifications during their nine month programme.
