Who is Lainey?
Before opening Laineys I worked as a team leader in a residential care home, Millie my dog worked alongside me building relationships with the residents, I wanted to put my love of people together with my love of animals, which inspired me to open a care farm.
Elaine says of her work:
“ Laineys Care Farm was my dream and is now my passion, I have achieved so much with the help of my amazing staff team. I love to see the students confidence grow as they make new friends and learn new skills”
