Our story

Founded in 1998 by Sam and Yvonne Milligan, we have encouraged and supported thousands of Children and Young People through our mentoring and development work in schools, outreach work in the community and now also at our 15 acre Activity Centre in Wokingham through our Programmes of Equine Assisted Learning.

We had a vision to have a Centre where we could integrate all aspects of our work on one site. The land was released by Peter Luff in 2013 and our staff, volunteers, local churches and businesses came together to provide labour and materials to build this vision and make it reality. We named the new multi-activity Centre and stables Rehoboth, after a well in the bible:

“Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land” - Genesis 26:22

Our Centre is home to an office block, activity rooms, a stable block (with 9 stables), a menage (riding school) and small animal enclosures.

On May 13^th 2014, our Activity Centre was opened by Zara Tindall, the Queen’s granddaughter and Olympic medallist. Zara toured the premises, watched an Equine Assisted Learning demonstration, planted an oak tree and unveiled a plaque to mark her visit.

We currently work with over 100 Children and Young people from 65 of the region’s schools and continue our outreach work in the local towns of Woodley and Wokingham.

'In You, Lord my God, I put my trust' - Psalm 25:1

Pandemic Referrals

During periods where our operations have to change to respond to the national situation we have alternative referral systems to let us know which of the children we are working with continue to need support and to facilitate those whose parents are key workers or have no alternative provision but a severe need to access referral slots quickly.
JAC will be our life saver during this time

During the COVID-19 outbreak, JAC stayed open to facilitate supporting schools in caring for the children of key workers and the most vulnerable children who needed support to battle the anxiety of the situation.
JAC COVID-19 Response

JAC is closed today to upgrade our response measures and make preparations. Tomorrow we will be opening again to support the young people still accessing school or those with severe needs. We will be offering a referral process if you need help with your young person during this period.
Where we are

Rehoboth is based directly off Forest Road, just outside of Wokingham. All of our mentoring sessions take place here.
