S19E57 - 356. Witness the amazing power of the outdoors - and rescue hens - to help disadvantaged children

This week, the Plodcast visits Penstone Learning Centre – a farm on the edge of the town of Cheddar in Somerset where students who struggle in mainstream education – often with very challenging behaviour – are taught outdoors among the animals.
The results are remarkable. Plodcast host Fergus is shown around by Centre Manager Abbie Ridler and her colleague Tilly Bean – and meets some of the young people whose lives are being turned around. Listen on for a moving, funny and beautifully hopeful Plodcast episode.
The star animals are the rescue hens, courtesy of the British Hen Welfare Trust. Find out more...
