Jamie's Farm 

Founded by a mother and son duo, Jamie and Tish Feilden, the charity combines farming, family, and therapy to create a transformative five-day residential experience, followed by long-term support.

From its beginnings on Jamie’s family farm near Bath in 2005, the charity has grown to seven farms across the UK, including a city farm in London, supporting 18,500 young people. Each year, Jamie’s Farm continues to see remarkable improvements in young people’s confidence and wellbeing.

How Sims Hilditch Supports

As a team, Sims Hilditch has supported their work in a number of ways. In the summer of 2023 and 2025, the studio spent an away day helping out on the farm.

Our day at Jamie’s Farm included gardening, creating a nature pond and hay bailing, as well as spending time with the farm’s team and building a stronger relationship with the charity.

Alongside this we have also used our design expertise to provide spatial planning and design schemes for Lower Shockerwick Farm, the charity’s 7th site, enabling a further 450 young people to benefit each year. Where suitable, we have donated pieces they need to furnish the new farm.

In September 2024, several of our team completed the Chilterns Challenge, a 25-kilometre trek to raise funds for Jamie’s Farm. Thanks to generous support, we exceeded our goal by over 50%, directly helping vulnerable young people across the country.

As of January 2026, we are now proudly donating 1% of our fees towards Jamie's Farm. We hope this provides them with more support to enable young people to uncover their strengths, build confidence and make positive changes that last long after they leave the farm.
