Above and Beyond Christmas
Our Above and Beyond investees, Jamie's Farm and Mediation Leeds share their Christmas cheer!
Jamie's Farm
Jamie’s Farm exists to transform the lives of vulnerable children in challenging urban schools, by providing a unique combination of ‘farming, family and therapy’ through a short stay residential and follow up programme. We aim to re-engage children with educational life, and enable them to fulfil their potential both in school and the wider social setting.

Mediation Leeds
Mediation Leeds has long held a vision is of a ‘Big Society’ where people deal with conflict through communication, co-operation and agreement and hopes to work toward that end through the variety of services it offers. With over 21 years experience in engaging trained volunteers to help neighbours in dispute, the organisation has also evolved to provide mediation between people in the workplace, tenants and landlords and also provides a quality accredited training service and consultancy service.
