Spring Farm Owners 

Dan and Sarah Dunning have two young children Lilyanna and Millie who like to be active, outdoors and have fun. 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 maize growing, a few chickens and veggie patch and hopefully in time some cows. Sarah is a part time social worker but very much enjoys doing anything outdoors be it obstacle courses, growing vegetables, making dens, or just quietly appreciating the surroundings. 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’s background in the NHS and charity work is very helpful to ensuring The Maker’s Place is governed well and working in a professional manner, keeping the community at the heart of all we do.

Graham has worked in design for around 35 years and brings experience of design, websites and video editing to The Maker’s Place. He has run many businesses and Kingdom enterprises, as well as serving in leadership and as a trustee in the churches of which he has been part.

He is passionate about seeing the church operating outside of church buildings and sees The Maker’s Place as a great example of this.
