Future Roots

Nestling in a lovely rural setting in West Dorset, Rylands Farm offers the perfect environment for The Future Roots Young People’s Service. Future Roots uses the farm environment, the outdoors, and our animals to offer young people to learn, feel safe and build their emotional resilience. We have school groups who may be undertaking a vocational qualification, small groups who might need nurture and gentler approaches and young people who can only work one to one with our staff. We adapt our approaches to ensure all young people can succeed. Our aim is to provide stability and direction through any tough time for young people and their families.

Our sessions are run by our team of Learning Mentors who have a wide and diverse range of skills in working with children and young people. We have a long-established record of achieving positive outcomes for our young people which is borne out in the feedback we receive from parents and carers, schools and the young people themselves.

We work in partnership with Schools, local authority children’s services and SEND teams, who are the referral agencies for our programmes. We do not take direct referrals from parents or carers except for our Short Break Holiday Clubs.
