The Phoenix Children's Foundation was established in 2006 with the sole aim of enriching and enhancing the lives of youngsters and their families living with illness, disability or lack of opportunity. We have a forest school type area and a small menagerie of animals, ranging from donkeys and goats, to Shetland ponies and reindeer, all of whom help to fund-raise – through appearances at events – as well as provide young people with opportunities to grow emotionally and learn through Animal Assisted Activity.
