         <description><![CDATA[<p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ninevehridgecarefarm.org.uk/">Nineveh Ridge Care Farm</a></p><p><br/></p><p>We offer alternative and innovative day care for adults and children with Disabilities. This day care is split into two parts, but both situated on a family farm of 40 acres. </p><p><br/></p><p>1. The Farm: Involved with caring for the animals: Small ponies, miniature donkeys, goats, pigs, hens, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas. This work is adapted to suit all abilities and is very inclusive in terms of wheelchair users and the less able. The service users can opt to take part in horticulture as well. </p><p><br/></p><p>2. Nineveh Projects: Opened last year to offer a 'work' environment to those who would rather mostly stay indoors. The service users help to produce items, mostly out of pallet wood to sell on line and at markets. Again this is very inclusive, some can be taught to use tools, others may be sanding or painting </p><p><br/></p><p>BOTH: In the afternoons, service users choose between 'sport' (table tennis etc., music &amp; drama/ dancing, grooming animals, craft, &amp; walking/armchair exercises.</p>]]></description>

Although Domiciliary care is not covered by this tender it is an important part of our service. Transport is a vital for people with PMLD. It is not just a simple case of getting into the car and putting a seatbelt on. It takes time and is physically arduous. Most travel in their specially adapted wheelchairs and with a ramp system for egress. We provide transport with a fully trained driver and supervisor to and from home and for trips into the community.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
