We are thrilled to announce that Newlands Bishop Farm has been nominated for the prestigious Employers Award at this year’s National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards. This recognition underscores the farm’s commitment to providing valuable work-based learning opportunities for adults with learning disabilities and mental health conditions. Situated in Solihull, the farm, a part of the Family Care Trust, has been a beacon of support, offering training in areas such as horticulture, animal care, and catering.
Adding to the excitement, the Family Care Trust’s Training Manager has been nominated for the Managers Award as part of their work delivering Oliver McGowan training, a testament to their dedication and impact in shaping effective management practices that support both personal and professional growth of their staff and volunteers.
Both nominations highlight the exceptional standards and the nurturing environment fostered by the Family Care Trust at Newlands Bishop Farm, which has not only enhanced the work based learning opportunities for its beneficiaries but also set a benchmark for inclusive employment and management practices in the sector.
