Meet the Team

Spring Farm Owners 

Dan, Sarah Dunning and their two children enjoy life on the farm. Dan is a farmer and runs a DIY livery business, so there are many horses and horse lovers around at Spring Farm, as well as few chickens and cows. Sarah is a part time social worker and also appreciates outdoors activities and quality time with people. Sarah and Dan share the same Christian faith, which motivates a desire to see the farm used in a way that is therapeutic and uplifting for others. 

Sarah has a wealth of experience, skills and knowledge from a longstanding fostering career and leadership work at Yeovil Community Church. Hugely creative and a lover of arts and crafts, she has been working with teenagers at The Maker’s Place and brings a whole heap of love, understanding, fun and creativity.

Ian has worked in senior leadership roles in the NHS and within various charities; this background is very helpful to ensuring The Maker’s Place is governed well and working in a professional manner. Ian also volunteers to run a job club at Yeovil Community Church, where he supports individuals to explore job opportunities and develop their skills.
