Dandelion Time transforms the lives of traumatised children in Kent. Our therapeutic approach is family based, embedded in nature with a range of activities that engage head, heart and hands. This nurturing farm environment allows children to build self-belief, strengthen relationships and develop the skills and aspirations for a brighter future.

Dandelion Time, based in Kent, helps children who are struggling with the effects of trauma, abuse or neglect. Children spend time on our farm with animals and crafts to overcome emotional difficulties, grow in confidence and begin to love and trust again.
