New Warlands Farm
New Warlands Farm
Set across 78 acres, less than 7 miles outside of Durham City, New Warlands Farm is home to our vocational training centre.
Our purpose-built centre provides social and vocational training programmes for autistic adults in a stunning rural setting in the Durham countryside.
The training centre’s location on a working farm means trainees can take part in a wide variety of activities, like making juice and cider from apples grown in our orchard, or horticultural activities in our polytunnels.
Our Programmes
Programmes can also cover:Â Woodwork, textiles, IT, floristry, catering, card making, retail, therapy, leisure, community access, and sensory development.
New Warlands Farm is also home to sheep, cattle, pigs, and chickens, and the produce from the farm has won prizes at agricultural shows.
Families say:
"As soon as I saw the place I knew he would love it there, and he does. He has such a full, rich life now. It makes me happy to know how happy my son is."
Our Day Services
Our day services team use person-centred approaches to enable trainees to be actively involved in choosing the programmes and activities that appeal to them.
Each trainee’s programme consists of important Personal and Social Development areas including communication and social interaction, sensory, personal care, independent living skills, and health and wellbeing.
We recognise the importance of functional skills in lifelong development and aim to support each trainee to gain practical skills they can use in everyday life.
