Help us install live-feed cameras at St Luke’s School Farm, giving pupils with SEND new learning opportunities—and giving our whole community a window into their amazing work.

This year, St Mary’s Church is delighted to support St Luke’s School Farm as our Charity of the Year for 2026.

Our chosen project focuses on installing a live-feed CCTV system in the animal enclosures, that will open up exciting new learning opportunities for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), while also strengthening Redbourn’s sense of community.

These cameras will allow pupils to observe animal behaviour at different times of day, develop digital and observational skills, and enjoy safe, extended learning even when they are not physically on the farm. Staff will also be able to monitor animal welfare more effectively during evenings and weekends.

The live-stream will also allow local residents and families to connect with the farm from home—watching the animals grow, explore, and become familiar faces in our community.

This simple technology helps build bridges of understanding and inclusion, celebrating the remarkable work pupils do each day.

By helping to raise at least £5,000, we are not just funding equipment—we are enabling young people with SEND to learn, flourish, and share their achievements with all of us.

Together, we can open a window that brings learning, care, and community closer than ever before.
