The Vision

Fraggle Farm gradually evolved as we raised our two children, both on the Autism spectrum. Many times along our journey we felt we lacked support, worried about various environments not quite meeting their needs, shed tears over the social events they were left out of. We wanted to create a place where children felt safe to be themselves, to make friends with like minded children. We dreamt of providing an opportunity for children to celebrate their birthdays with guaranteed guests, where the parents felt comfortable surrounded by others on a similar journey and knowing their children were included. A place to connect with nature, lessening their anxiety as sensory needs were met. 

At first we dreamt of a place for children like ours to build friendships 

and for parents to connect with each other, but as time went on this dream grew. We began to see the potential of so much more, a place for opportunities for kids to learn beyond the classroom. Events connecting the community, offering opportunities to adults with Neurodevelopmental conditions. Developing a volunteer program to help people gain experience within the care industry, or simply a chance to give back. 

We wanted to create a Not for Profit company where our children could be involved, and who better to guide us and inspire us to dream big.
