Creating HomeFulness - Woodwynn Farms
We believe in people.
And we believe that it is more effective to create something new, than to try to ‘end’ something as complex as homelessness.
Our strategy is pretty straight-forward:
1. Learn from the best model in the world
2. Challenge all assumptions
3. Raise the bar of expectations unreasonably high
Woodwynn Farms is our 193 acre organic farm for our therapeutic community for the homeless, offering an opportunity to change peoples’ lives with educational and work programmes based on responsibility, dignity, independence and the principles of peer-to-peer help. Click here to learn more.
