Kezi & Clay Healthcare Ltd is an organization with over 15 years of experience delivering social care services, dedicated to helping develop communities and changing lives in England.
Moss Farm was established to provide support for children who have experienced trauma, particularly adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). These children deserve to create new positive memories, and our organization is characterized by resilience and empathy.
The individuals we care for are at the core of our mission and drive everything we do. ACEs, or Adverse Childhood Experiences, refer to traumatic events or experiences occurring during childhood, typically before the age of 18.
Examples include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction like substance abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, or parental separation. These experiences can have lasting negative effects on physical health, mental health, and overall well-being, making it imperative to provide support and interventions to mitigate their long-term impact.
Our story is one of dedication, built upon the belief that every child deserves a nurturing environment where they can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. We embark on a mission to provide a safe haven for children who, for various reasons, find themselves without a stable home environment.
Nompu remained undiagnosed with autism and ADHD until the age of 28 while resolving childhood traumand possesses significant lived experience in social care as a care leaver. She became deeply engrossed in understanding attachment theories and qualified in DDP and is a big champion of least restrictive interventions to better support children with unresolved trauma such as TCI. Moss Farm aims to prioritize helping children feel accepted and understood from the outset.
Manake grew up in a rural setting and has numerous examples of how being around animals provided him with a meaningful purpose. He
believes that this experience can serve as a valuable distraction for children in distress. He feels that the farm adds tranquility and provides an environment where children can simply be themselves. This allows them to focus on developing new memories without the distraction and temptation of city life, while still accessing activities when they need them for socialization.
Over the years, we have witnessed countless stories of resilience and transformation. From the moment a child walks through our doors, they are met with warmth and understanding. Our dedicated team of caregivers work tirelessly to create a nurturing atmosphere where each child feels valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
At Moss Farm, we understand that every child is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s providing a listening ear, offering academic support, or fostering a sense of belonging through recreational activities, we are committed to helping each child thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
At Moss Farm, we are deeply committed to fostering an environment of equality and celebrating diversity in all its forms. We believe that every child deserves to feel valued, respected, and included, regardless of their background, ethnicity, religion, gender, or any other characteristic.
We strive to create a safe and supportive space where differences are embraced and celebrated, enriching the experiences of all our residents. Our dedicated team is trained to promote equality and diversity in every aspect of our care, ensuring that each child feels empowered to express themselves authentically and without fear of judgment.
Through our inclusive practices, we aim to instil a sense of belonging and acceptance among our residents, helping them to develop a positive self-image and build meaningful connections with their peers and the wider community. We actively promote equality of opportunity, ensuring that every child has access to the same resources, support, and opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential.
At Moss Farm, safeguarding is in the centre of everything we do. We are dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive and flourish. Our staff undergo rigorous training to recognise signs of abuse or neglect and are equipped with the tools to respond swiftly and appropriately to any concerns.
We adhere to robust safeguarding policies and procedures, ensuring that every child in our care feels secure and protected. By fostering a culture of openness and trust, we encourage children to voice their thoughts and concerns, knowing they will be listened to and supported.
