Throughout this year, we have witnessed a notable increase in the number of children and families seeking our services, along with a rise in referrals through our partnerships with essential education and healthcare services. This surge underscores the critical need for our offerings and highlights our role as a vital resource for those navigating the complexities of SEND. 2024 The Farming mother cic secured a new site to deliver its vital services and this has allowed us to expand at an extraordinary rate.
