A former children’s home in Sandy, Mid-Bedfordshire, Manor Farm is a multi-purpose Family Centre providing a wide range of services for people in need. It was completely refurbished in the year 2000 with the help of Trust funding and a grant from the National Lottery Charities Board.

It has full disability access, including a lift between floors and provides a wide range of rooms for hire, including meeting and counselling rooms and a fully equipped training room to cater for up to twenty people.

It has external play areas and car parking and is used regularly by local statutory and voluntary organisations.

The staff at Manor Farm Family Centre are trained to provide a creative and professional response to a wide range of family needs.

In 2004, derelict outbuildings were completely refurbished to create the Youth Barn, a specialist project for young people.

The Youth Barn Project, alongside the Family Centre, provides a specialist resource for young people who are at risk in the community.

Room hire charges for the Family Centre and Youth Barn are available on request.

Much of the work is in partnership with Bedfordshire County Council Social Services Department and Mid Beds District Council. The working partnerships govern a number of principles of good practice, including data protection, equal opportunities and review systems.

In association with Manor Farm, a comprehensive learning resource called 'this was me' has been developed with a local media company to help young people achieve emotional health and wellbeing. For more information please click here.
