  • Summary

  • We have a wonderfully uplifting story in the latest podcast from Suffolk Money, supported by Kingsfleet, as Lesley Dolphin takes us on a tour of the Pathways Care Farm near Lowestoft. Described as ‘an oasis of calm’ it supports countless vulnerable people, helping them to build confidence, learn skills and ultimately be part of something really special. Founder and Director, Geoff Stevens, tells Lesley how his past experiences of running a business, working with disadvantaged people, and also caring for parents with Dementia, all led him to this point. Having left the corporate world, he’d made it his mission to find a way of looking after people, no matter what their difficulties are; helping them fulfil their goals and live their lives. Geoff takes Lesley on a tour of the Farm, where they meet volunteers and farm workers alike; including Laura, Charlotte, Katie and of course Geoff’s wife Den. Here, everybody is equal and has complete ownership of what they do with their day. With a clear vision from the start of what he was trying to achieve, with the help of his amazing, dedicated team, Geoff has developed a farm that was completely derelict and covered in brambles, to the beautiful 13-acre site it now is today; with everything from polytunnels to grow vegetables and paddocks for pigs and alpacas – to chickens in Peckingham Palace! Having created this place of calm, amidst the hustle and bustle of busy, troubled contemporary life, Geoff has more ideas and would love to add a care home aspect to Pathways Care Farm. Not only would this be for people in their later years – helping them to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life – but also for young people who are struggling with education and need a place where they can learn and contribute to society.
