Meet the OCCF Team
At Oldbury Cottage Care Farm CIC, our dedicated team is the heart of everything we do. Passionate about making a difference, we bring together a diverse range of skills and experience to create a welcoming, supportive, and enriching environment for everyone who visits the farm.
From animal care specialists to community support workers, each team member plays a vital role in delivering our mission of providing therapeutic farming experiences. We believe in the power of nature, meaningful connections, and hands-on learning to inspire growth and well-being.
Get to know the people behind OCCF and discover the passion that drives our work!
I am a motivated person wanting to see others achieve the best they can and enjoy what they are doing through nature and animals. I work best with a mug of tea and cake!
With a background in Logistics Management and Adult Social Care, I bring nearly twenty years of experience and a passion for growing potential in every sense of the word, setting the stage for the next chapter in our story.
I have worked with children & young adults with SEND for nearly 10 years. When I am not working at OCCF, I am at home on our own farm with my husband, 4 children, 3 dogs, 5 cats, 2 goats, a pony, and a pig, as well as beef cattle, chickens and ducks.
Having grown up on a farm, I appreciate the amazing scenery and being able to work with such kind, determined and caring attendees. OCCF is a wonderful and accessible learning environment that brings out the best in everyone.
I have previous experience in both the public and private sector advocacy and support. I keep things ticking along in the background dealing with all thing’s admin on the Farm – this enables all our attendees to fully enjoy their time on the Farm.
Hi! I have experience of supporting adults with Learning Disabilities. I love animals and the outdoors, and I am also a horse-riding instructor.
Hello! I used to help with Riding for the Disabled Association lessons locally and I joined the farm team because of the much-needed provision if offers for residents of Nuneaton and the villages. I work in education and know how important it is for everyone to be able to learn in a practical and supported way.
Hello! I’ve worked supporting adults with special needs since 1996, including supporting an attendee to access OCCF and loved the whole experience of the social, learning and practicality of time on the farm. In September 2024 I became support staff on the farm and love it, even the mucking out!
I enjoy working on the farm, looking after the animals with all the wonderful attendees. I have previous experience in care, education and art & design and thoroughly enjoy nature.
