My name is Scruffy and I am a therapy dog - I can help to calm you if you feel sad or upset.

I am a mammal and live for 10-14 years.

I like warm indoor places.

I can only eat pork and fish. It is very important not to feed me anything else. Sometimes I have special biscuits from the vets.

I live with Emma and her children.

I have black and grey fur with a black tail.

I am not allowed to jump on my rear legs, it can cause hip dysplasia.

Matthew - Farm and community coach

Hi. I'm Matthew and I am a Farm and Community Coach with Diamond Families. I have worked in the countryside all my life and love being outdoors and seeing life thrive everywhere. I particularly love sharing my experiences with others, especially young people. My favourite time of the year is Spring, especially as the weather gets warmer and the days get longer. My favourite animals on the farm are the chickens, as they are full of character - and because they love exploring everywhere!

Becca - outdoor learning coordinator

Hi, my name is Becca, I am the Outdoor Learning Coordinator here at Diamond Families. I have always had a deep passion for supporting both animals and young people, which makes being here on the farm such a wonderful experience.

I am at my happiest when I’m outdoors, whether I'm gardening or out hiking with my dog. I also love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many continents, including living in China for four years! My favorite color is purple, and my favorite animal is the hummingbird because of their beautiful colors and the unique sound they make.

I have been a teacher for seven years and feel truly passionate about supporting children through their educational journeys. I love being able to help our students grow, learn, and discover new things in the great outdoors.
