🌱 Big news for IB4E! 🌱

We're thrilled to share that our new polytunnel is on its way! Thanks to funding from The Clothworkers' Foundation, we'll soon have a brand new growing space here at Field House Farm.

For the autistic and SEND children and young people we work with, we know how much a calm, sensory-rich outdoor space can offer — the textures, smells, and quiet rhythm of gardening can be brilliant for regulation, confidence, and just having a space to be. This polytunnel means we can offer that all year round, whatever the weather, with more room for hands-on growing, planting, and exploring at everyone's own pace.

It's a big step forward for the garden and for the young people who use it. We can't wait to get it up and running — watch this space for photos as the build gets underway! 🛠️

Huge thanks to The Clothworkers' Foundation for making this possible. 💚

At IB4E — Inspire Before Educate — we believe that every child deserves a chance, even when the system has run out of ideas.

We work with children who have been excluded, overlooked, or failed by mainstream education. Many have autism, SEND, or complex needs that classrooms simply weren't built to accommodate. We offer something different — animal-assisted therapy, hands-on learning, and a safe space where children can breathe, grow, and begin to believe in themselves again.

Based at our Boldon Kids Hub in the North East, we're not a big organisation. We're two people who refused to accept that these children didn't matter. We started IB4E because we'd seen what happens when a child falls through the gaps — and we decided to do something about it.

What we've built isn't perfect, and we're still growing. But the children who come through our doors are making progress that their families had stopped daring to hope for. That's what drives us.

As a Community Interest Company, we are dedicated to supporting children, adults, families and veterans through the incredible benefits of horse-related activities.

At Inspire Before Educate, our journey began with a shared vision between our dedicated founders, Debra James and Lynne Stothard. With a deep belief in the healing and empowering potential of interactions with horses, they established this community interest company to extend the benefits of equine therapy, lessons, and equestrian qualifications to everyone, regardless of age or background.

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking launch campaign that aims to provide an unforgettable experience for every child in primary school.

We are on a mission to ensure that every child of primary school age has the opportunity to experience a FREE magical enrichment and educational encounter with these magnificent animals.

To celebrate this exciting launch, we are also giving away educational packs to all participating children, along with a fantastic half-price horse riding voucher for a lesson at East Boldon Riding Centre! 🎁🏇

We need YOUR help to spread the word and make a difference. Whether you are a parent, educator or horse enthusiast please share our exciting new community interest company! We invite all schools in the area to register their interest in our educational campaign for by sending an email to [email protected]

Join us in this incredible journey of enrichment and improvement. Follow us on our social media channels and website which is now LIVE to reserve our specialised equestrian therapy sessions and stay updated with all the amazing initiatives from I B4E CIC.
