Look how Harmione has grown! πŸ‘

You might remember Harmione, our sheep Persephone's lamb, who was born during our autumn lambing season in October 2025. Just three and a half months later, look at how big Harmione now is! In the photo, she is hanging with her Mum in our animal barn, keeping warm during the storms πŸŒ§β˜”

Would you like to be part of the next generation of Made-Well lambing? Book onto one of our lambing sessions, running throughout this month, on our website made-well.co.ukπŸ’»

πŸ‘TILLY AT MADE-WELLπŸ‘

Lambing season has well and truly begun at West Fishleigh Farm, where Made-Well is based, and Tilly has been a huge help! Her jobs include marking sheep pens with the day and time a lamb was born, checking the mummy sheep is milking correctly and that the baby lambs are getting all the TLC they need to thrive πŸ’•

Tilly is a very hard worker, though she says it's good fun to be around such cute newborn lambs! As you can see, the love goes both ways as the sheep are glad to have Tilly around to take care of them in this special time πŸ’«

Want to have a cuddle with our lambs yourself? Book a slot on one of our Spring Lambing experiences during February - to book, visit made-well.co.uk

Or, do you think you would benefit from Support and Enabling opportunities at Made-Well? As well as farming, we have a range of opportunities from woodwork to gardening, crafts to theatre 🎊 Interested? Give us a call on 01837 810584 to book a FREE taster day!

Lack of winter sun getting you down? Did you know spending time with animals can boost your mood and lower stress through triggering happy hormones? Our furry friends are truly magic! πŸ’•πŸ°πŸ‘

At Made-Well, we recognise how impactful time with animals can be, so we keep costs low to ensure our Devon Animal Experiences, Walks and Wellbeing sessions are accessible to all. For just £5 you can have hands-on cuddles with our bunnies, take a stroll with our ponies or give Ernie the tortoise his daily treat! 🐒

Or, if you're looking for a longer session, our Animal Wellbeing sessions give you 45 minutes of supported time with our ponies, sheep or Guernsey goats for only Β£15. These sessions are designed to suit your needs, whether you come for one session or regularly to our site near Hatherleigh, Devon!

And hey - don't just take our word for how incredible time spent with animals can be! A satisfied parent told us:
"Since coming to Made-Well, I have seen [my child's] confidence grow, especially through pony therapy. Within an hour of being here, she begins talking and engaging with staff in the animal barn - something that
would usually be very difficult for her."

So, whether you're looking for SEND-friendly family fun in Devon or wellbeing near Okehampton, book online at made-well.co.uk, email animalteam@made-well.co.uk or give us a call on 01837 810584 πŸ“²πŸ’»

Is your teen struggling emotionally? Are they disengaged at school, or not attending at all? Would they benefit from an encouraging space to develop confidence and feel supported?

Teen Time @ Made-Well is a BRAND NEW six week pilot program, where your teen can attend a two hour weekly support session for FREE thanks to funding from Devon County Council. Facilitated by an experienced professional, Emma Martin, the sessions will include team-building exercises, games and structured challenges to promote both group and individual skills.
The group is open to teens struggling with attending school, perhaps due to SEND or EBSA, and begins NEXT THURSDAY 5th February.
