Hello everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that if any adults are struggling, or if you have children with mental health challenges, I’m more than happy to offer support in any way I can. As someone with a diagnosis of AU/ADHD, I understand very well what it’s like to face difficulties, and I’m happy to share my time, experience, and advice.
Some of you may know that I’m a falconer with a wonderful collection of birds. I’ve found that working with them is an amazing way to escape the pressures of everyday life. I’m happy to offer educational displays, interactions, and guidance with my birds, and to use this as a positive outlet while helping where I can. I also have many helpful contacts that I can connect you with.
Please feel free to reach out if you’d like support or even just a brief escape from your troubles. I’m fully insured for education and conservation activities, and as someone with a neurodivergent household, I’m particularly good with children. I’m friendly and approachable, so don’t be shy!
I just wanted to add that while all the support I’m offering to people facing difficulties is completely free as part of a non-profit project, I would be incredibly grateful for any donations that people might be willing to provide.
For those with an interest in birds of prey in general, I also offer private displays and interactions on land I have full permission to use. These can include a mixture of Owls, Hawks, Falcons, Buzzards, and soon, an Eagle! Getting up close and personal with these amazing birds is a unique experience, but in these private sessions, donations or small fees are necessary to help maintain the welfare of the birds, cover travel, and ensure the organisation can continue to run smoothly.
The welfare of the birds always comes first, they are my life, but running these experiences does have costs. Any contribution will help us continue to educate and conserve these incredible creatures. I promise it won’t break the bank and will go directly towards creating the best possible experience for everyone involved ❤️
Best wishes,
Jamie
