“The Land has been an amazing facility for my son and myself.  He hasn't been able to access events due to crowds, noise and sensory issues, so to have the opportunity for him and others to get to experience this event has been amazing.  This is not only his safe space but mine aswell.  He absolutly loves it here”


Local Resident

“Thank you!  V had the best time, quite emotional really as it is his first chance to ever atend something like this!”

“This is the only place my son asked to go.  Here, he runs free, he smiles, he dosn't mask.  Thats rare for us”


Haxby Resident

“Its the first time I have met other paents who understand, who don't judge.  We sit with flasks of tea while the kids play or retreat to the cabin.  Its the safest place we know.”


Local Resident

“Finding a safe place like this where we can begin to heal and rebuild has been a lifeline.”
