Wellbeing Centre
In Wenvoe on the outskirts of Cardiff our wellbeing centre provides a relaxed and friendly environment for individuals and groups to focus on their mental health and wellbeing. Our herd of friendly alpacas (pictured are Mia, Bonnie and Jemima), enable gentle interaction potentially as part of your individual or group session. The large polytunnel provides a lovely space to sit and chat.
- Warm and friendly 1-2-1 therapy space
- Bright and airy room for groups of up to 10
- Beautiful green spaces to enjoy

We are not a crisis service, our centre is only open for specific arranged appointment. Access to the centres facilities and the alpacas is only by prearranged appointment.
If you need urgent support contact your GP or call 111 and then select option 2 or in an Emergency attend your local A&E or call 999.

‘I love being outside with the alpacas or just sitting quietly by the pond and feel that individuals / organisations would also benefit from having this as an additional option as they seek to lift their or their teams wellbeing. There is a large body of research that indicates the benefits of being outside in nature and interacting with animals. We are developing Garn Farm to be a lovely place for our clients but also for the natural environment and the local community. So far we have planted 44 native trees, put up bird boxes, feeders and provided hedgehog houses, planted native wildflowers and developed the natural pond for local wildlife. We have lots more planned as we work towards our aim of creating a sustainable haven for people, plants and animals.’
