At Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes, we believe that holidays play a vital role in enhancing well-being and bringing joy to the people we support. Recognising that everyone has unique preferences, we work closely with individuals to design holiday experiences tailored to their needs and desires. Through discussions, we explore key factors such as trip duration, destinations, companionship, and the activities that bring them happiness.

By taking a person-centered approach, we have successfully supported a range of holiday experiences, ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to enjoy trips that align with their interests. Every year, everyone we support goes on holiday. These can either be as a group, or solo adventures, all designed to achieve their holiday goals.

At Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes, we believe that a home should be more than just a place to live—it should reflect the personalities, preferences, and needs of the people who reside there. That’s why we continuously strive to improve our services, designing our care and environment around the individuals we support.

To be fully included in a democratic society, we should all have the power to affect who is elected to govern us. This is enshrined within the Human Rights Act (1998) but can easily be taken for granted.

Thanks to our Registered Manager, who is currently undertaking a Masters degree in Inclusion, we were able to undertake a six week programme to educate the people we support in an unbiased way, so that they could come to their own conclusion about who to vote for and why.

Attending college is a vital step for adults with learning disabilities and autism to build their skills, independence, and confidence. It provides an opportunity to learn in a structured environment while also gaining valuable life skills that extend far beyond the classroom. College can be a place where personal growth flourishes, helping individuals achieve greater autonomy. By developing new skills and discovering passions, students can unlock their potential and become more self-sufficient, while also gaining a sense of purpose and belonging.

Fundraising is a powerful way to make a positive impact on the community, supporting charities that work tirelessly to improve lives and create meaningful change. It’s not just about raising money; it’s about raising awareness and showing support for causes that matter. That’s why we’re so proud that our residents are actively involved in taking on challenges to support these charities. By participating in fundraising events and challenges, they’re not only contributing to important causes, but they’re also developing a sense of accomplishment, teamwork, and connection with others. It’s a wonderful way to give back and make a difference, while also bringing our community together for a shared goal.
