Happy 2nd Birthday to our two beautiful girl goats Ethel & Flo. Today we’re celebrating these cheeky girls, as they turn two years old , pictured here with their lovely mums Smudge (Ethel) and Willow (Flo) when they were born. From tiny kids to confident, curious girls, they’ve filled our days with mischief, walks and plenty of laughs. We’re so lucky to have these girls in Oakfield’s little goat family and can’t wait for many more years together 🐐✨

The people support have been busy over January and February. They have completed in-house activities, such as puzzles, crafts, baking cupcakes, karaoke and a disco. Trips have been enjoyed bowling, out for drinks, to forest school volunteering, and seed to plate sessions. The people we support have also celebrated Valentine's day doing crafts, and enjoyed Yorkshire Pudding day by having a lovely roast. Please see below photos taken over the past couple of months.

On the 19th of February, Tash and Zoe from The Cotton Bobbins held a ‘Whatnot’ charity auction, in collaboration with Oakfield’s Pop-up Shop, to raise funds for Oakfield Charity. We are proud to announce that the charity auction raised £467.14. A massive thank you to Tash and Zoe who helped us to sell our items on their account with all of their amazing followers. 

As of February 2026, Phase 5A of our Easton Maudit renovation is now completed, with a further two rooms being developed into self-contained flats. With only two smaller phases to go (5B & 5C) - we are one step closer to completing our building project! Thank you to all of our donors for your support with this project, without you this would not be possible. Please see below a few photographs of the two new flats, phase 5A: 

We have recently had lots of interest in our goat walking experience, with many local groups and families attending. One group attended on New Years Eve for their experience, George noting this was the best New Year he has ever had and that they should do it every year. We also had another special visit for Brooke's birthday, who loved her experience and day with the goats! If you have a special occasion, or perhaps just want a trip out, please do consider our Goat Walking Experience. It is a great way to support a local charity (all proceeds going back into the animal welfare) and perfect for animal lovers. We also have guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens on site. Vouchers are available. Contact us to find out more. Please see the pictures below taken from recent Goat Walking Experiences.

A big thank you to Brigstock community for kindly donating 10 Christmas trees, our pygmy goats are delighted! Your support is greatly appreciated.

Here at Oakfield, we have had a magical December full of festive fun. The people we support have also attended seed-to-plate, bowling, enjoyed winter walks and crafts as well as developing life skills. Please see below some of the photos from the festive period!
