Highfields Happy Hens Highfields Happy Hens in Derbyshire provides troubled young people with love, stability and the opportunity to learn life skills. Young offenders and those excluded from school, are taken on as volunteer egg collectors, helping to collect 16,000 eggs a day from 20,000 free range hens. The Christian-backed project takes referrals from the local Youth Offender Team and has achieved remarkable success in reducing re-offending. Often, the animals have a therapeutic effect on the behaviour of the young people.
What Can I Do? is produced by pact (Prison Advice and Care Trust) and Churches' Criminal Justice Forum. |
