Ruskin Mill Trust provides students with holistic learning by role modelling positive relationships in the fields of arts, crafts, commerce, agriculture, nutrition, living skills and the environment. By immersing students within the productive aspect of our curriculum, they learn to overcome their barriers to learning and to care for their own well-being and development. Then, a student can recognise their capabilities and positively contribute to society.

This approach is embedded within a unique research and training culture up to Masters and PhD level delivered through The Field Centre providing opportunities for all staff and the wider community for professional development.
