Farms for City Children welcomes over 3,000 primary school children a year to one of our three farms for a 7 day stay. By being farmers for a week, children grow in self esteem, self confidence and self worth. Fresh air, purposeful work, taking responsibility, contact with animals, good food eaten in a homely environment, a screen-free setting and space to play encourages children to flourish. Their horizons broaden, they learn to work in a team, communicate with one another and they become more responsive back in the classroom and at home.

A Welcome from Our Founders
Sir Michael & Lady Morpurgo
The first thing to say is that Dr Tessa Stone, our Chief Executive Officer, who has done so much to raise the profile of the charity, is stepping down to be able to work nearer home. We will miss her enthusiasm and energy and wish her well in her new post. Vanessa Fox will be joining us and we all look forward greatly to working with her. Good luck Tessa and welcome Vanessa. This is one of our favourite times of the year. After a long, dark, damp winter the hedgerows are beginning to fill with flowers again. The children have found the first frog spawn in the pond. The days are getting longer and soon the swallows will return to their nests in the barns. It is so hard to believe that children have been coming to the farm for over 40 years. Of course, in that time many things have changed but what is extraordinary is that fundamentally we are still doing the same thing, and now more than ever, we know how important it is. Right from the beginning we have been supported by people who understood the importance of enabling children to be involved in the daily life of a working farm and to have experience of life in the countryside. In 1976, The Ward Family, who had farmed in the parish for five generations, joined us and began to share their lives with a thousand children every year. That they are still doing this, day in day out, is a tribute to their commitment.
Thanks to so many people, Farms for City Children has now welcomed over 85,000 children to one of our farms. On all three farms, Nethercott House, Lower Treginnis and Wick Court, the welcome offered to these children and their teachers is as warm and genuine today as it was, when we began one cold January day, all those years ago.

Jo’s story This Spring we welcomed Tredegarville Primary School to Treginnis for the first time thanks to support from our Access Fund, however one teacher knew exactly what she was signing up for! Deputy Headteacher, Jo Powell, came with her previous school and was excited to return again this year.
Why did you come to Treginnis? I visited Treginnis with my previous school, Thornhill Primary, and when I moved to Tredegarville, I would often share my fond memories of this wonderful residential trip. It really was a dream come true when my headteacher, Emma Laing received information about a new Access Fund, offering certain schools in Wales the opportunity to come to Treginnis at a more affordable cost. Within a week we were booked to come and started planning our trip as well as our own fundraising!
Was Treginnis how you remembered it from your time with Thornhill? It was lovely to work with some of the original staff and also to meet new members of the Treginnis team. There were many positive improvements in line with life today. Some of the farm jobs were the same and there were also some new activities like making pizzas and sawing logs. The week showed the children that they could have a job and survive in the countryside, which was a very novel idea to them!
Have you got a story of one or two children who came to Treginnis who really benefitted? It was a really unique trip for all the children. What was most special was the children all started at the same level, so they all had the same opportunity to achieve. They all had a real chance to shine through various activities that the trip provided them. The trip developed their independence and helped them to become more resilient. The children had such a sense of achievement when they had completed a job like mucking out the stables or digging up a vegetable patch. The children had no access to their phones or other devices during the week. Instead they enjoyed chatting about their day whilst eating the delicious food cooked by the kitchen staff. They were so engaged with the opportunities the week offered them. They were particularly blown away by the scenery, and loved the freedom they had to work and play on the farm. We’ve got no fields at our school, so this safe, open environment was so important.
What is home life like for these children?
Will you be coming to Treginnis again?
Tredegarville is an inner-city school and many of our children live very close to the city centre. Traffic is always very busy and pollution levels are high. After spending a week being farmers, many of our children wanted to stay at Treginnis. Lots of them are keen to go back with their families to show them the animals and the wonderful place where they stayed.
If there is Access Funding available next year, definitely. We already have some Year 5 families already interested and asking questions. We worked hard to fundraise to cover some of the costs, and are so grateful for the support from the Access Fund. Thank you.
Amy’s story
With a new curriculum being introduced to Wales, the trip to Treginnis covers many things that is included in Professor Donaldson’s Four Purposes. It is an amazing way for the children to learn not only what’s in the curriculum, but life skills that will put them in good stead for the future.
Amy came to Lower Treginnis as a child, and then returned with Groes Primary School as a Teaching Assistant. She shares her memories of seeing the week from both sides of the fence: I spent a week at Lower Treginnis as a child, and it was the best school trip of my primary school years! The experience was just amazing; it was great to see what farm life was like! My most memorable moments were walking along the beautiful coastal path, milking the goats and spending our free time playing on the boat in the field. The week taught me how hard you have to work on a farm doing the many daily tasks, as well as teaching me how to take responsibility and look after the animals. My independence grew considerably, even from tasks as small as choosing my own clothes each morning. The food at the farm was delicious, and I remember eating sausages made from the pigs on the farm, and fresh homemade jam, but most of all I remember the amazing homemade desserts. The food most definitely stood out! I was thrilled to return to Treginnis as a Teaching Assistant with our school, but it felt bizarre; the house and farm hadn’t changed much, and it was encouraging to see all the children doing similar farm tasks to those which I had done as a child. To see the children grow over the week and develop new life skills has been a privilege and I hope to be back again soon! Lower Treginnis is the best experience for any child. The farmers, cooks, and all the team are so welcoming and accommodating.

Nethercott House Tim Rose, Farm School Manager Iddesleigh, Devon We have had an exciting autumn and winter term here at Nethercott! Despite what has seemed like an endlessly wet, windy and very muddy few months our visiting children have continued to impress us with their enthusiasm, getting stuck in to a wide range of very productive tasks.
At the time of writing, our Victorian Walled Kitchen Garden project is moving forward at pace and we now have all of the funding and contractors in place to start works in the next few weeks. This will be quite a transformation for us with repairs and recapping to the walls, the re-laying of all the paths and work on reinstating the sunken melon house all about to start. After a great run with apple juicing in the autumn, we then invested in some new creamery equipment for our food prep room with a little help from our local Young Farmers. With some excellent mentoring and advice from Arla, children visiting since the start of January have been able to get a real insight into the dairy industry – watching cows being milked early in the morning, followed by a session separating the cream from the milk, making butter, cheese, yoghurt and ice-cream. Colvestone Primary School from London were the first school to enjoy creamery sessions and these have quickly become a real highlight of the Nethercott 6 experience!
Other works will follow on both inside and immediately outside the walled area. Ultimately this will allow us to create a resource which not only enhances the experience of our visiting children, but also to develop more of a community resource and a space to open up for visitors. Finally, we have also been busy inside the house and have recently completed a redecoration of our quiet room. It is fantastic to see this well used space freshened up, offering a warm and welcoming space for children to relax after a long hard day on the farm!

Introducing Mel and Tim! Last summer, Mel Slater joined us as our Education Officer, a new post very kindly funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, and in September, Tim Rose took over the Nethercott House reins from Catherine. We wanted to share a few words from them as they’re both an important part of the Farms for City Children family.
Mel “As the new Education Officer, I am supporting our visiting schools before, during and after their stay at the farm to extend the reach and educational impacts for the visiting children and wider school community. I am also increasing our presence within teacher training, Continuing Professional Development and outdoor education platforms, as well as developing our evaluation to better record and measure the impact of our work. Before this role I was a primary school teacher, Forest School and THRIVE practitioner with a passion for connecting children with nature and the outdoors, as well as children’s holistic development.”
Tim
“Having grown up around agriculture and the countryside (my father was principal of an agricultural college), I completed a degree in Biology with Education. Teaching was a natural choice, and after completing my PGCE I started work as a primary school teacher in North Yorkshire. My scientific background quickly led me into supporting other teachers with developing their science teaching and ultimately I moved into training teachers as a university lecturer. My first lecturing post was at Marjons in Plymouth which introduced me to the fantastic Devon countryside! Following that I worked in senior leadership in schools in Italy before returning to university teaching at the University of Brighton. I worked my way up to be Deputy Head of the School of Education, but an opportunity to have a more direct impact on the opportunities of young people as well as a returning to a more rural way of life were calling loudly! I was excited to spot the opportunity at Farms for City Children and then thrilled to be appointed to the role of Farm School Manager at Nethercott House. Thank you to everyone for such a great welcome! Having spent an invaluable month working alongside Catherine in September I have really enjoyed getting to know all of the Nethercott staff and the first of our visiting schools. Being involved with the work of Farms for City Children and the experience we offer visiting children on our farms is truly inspirational!”

Wick Court Heather Tarplee, Farm School Manager Arlingham, Gloucester After a very wet winter – with plenty of mud to experience and enjoy, and even a few days of snow – we are starting to see signs of spring around the farm. By the time you read this not only will the the early-lambing ewes have all produced, but we will be well underway with the lambing of the Cotswolds, Coloured Ryelands and Jacobs! There are jobs in the lambing shed all day – feeding, checking, filling hayracks and water buckets, strawing down and of course the occasional triplet who needs a top-up from a bottle. Finishing each day in the lambing shed after dark is the perfect way to end a busy day on the farm and for the children to quieten down ready for their bed time.
Every child last term enjoyed harvesting and processing the apples and pears from our orchards. Our new juicing equipment has meant production has increased but the process is still completely hands-on for the children, and every group so far this year has enjoyed Wick Court juice during their Woodland activities. After another very successful Wassail ceremony in January, next season should be just as productive!
The children have also been harvesting and enjoying produce from the garden, including those very special onions planted by HRH the Duchess of Cambridge which were delicious. Our local BASC officers have been taking the children on “Gamekeeper walks” around the farm encouraging them to spot signs of wildlife – tracks, holes, feathers etc. They have also set webcams to record overnight activity which have been quite revealing! The children have really enjoyed this new activity.
In the woodland area a large expanse of brambles has been cleared and the children have helped lay a new brick base and path for our apiary. The bees have now moved to the new site, which will be easier to maintain (and the bees have more hours of sunlight and a clear run straight to the orchard!). We have 3 very healthy-looking colonies and the children are still enjoying Wick Court honey every Wednesday morning for their breakfast.

We have just passed the 20th anniversary of the very first children arriving on the farm – the occasion was marked with a cake for the children – however we shall be celebrating our “official” birthday on Thursday 21st June and are delighted that our talented friends “The HandleBards” will be cycling in to perform their amazing version of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” in the orchard to round off our celebrations – tickets are on sale now on our website. We hope to see you on the 21st June if not before!

A new Good Food Policy! Together, our farms have produced a new Good Food Policy with a mission to ensuring the food served on our farms will be locally sourced, seasonal, nourishing and provide a communal experience. This isn’t to say we weren’t doing this already, but we’ve really pinned it down so we can proudly say the home cooked food we provide is good for the children. Why do we need a Good Food Policy? Because more children are eating poor diets, and are overweight as a result, because too many children don’t know where their food comes from, and most importantly, because we’re an important part of the solution! How will we achieve our mission? Our aims include encouraging everyone to follow the 3 T’s: Taste everything; Talk about what you’re eating; Try not to waste food. We are also aiming for as much of our fruit and vegetables as possible to be sourced from our own gardens, for 50% of our fruit and vegetables to be sourced from a 15 mile radius of the farm, for 80% of our meat to be sourced from our own livestock, for 100% of our meat to be sourced from a 30 mile radius of the farm, to have one meat-free day a week, that all food should be home produced and cooked using natural ingredients. We want to share with children and teachers information about the provenance of everything on our menus, and give visiting children and teachers a practical experience of ‘farm to fork’, including (depending on the season): planting; growing; harvesting; animal husbandry; cooking and food preparation, and eating delicious food.

Lower Treginnis Dan Jones, Farm School Manager St David’s, Pembrokeshire It has been wet. It has been windy. It has been cold. But for the children who have visited Treginnis this year, it has been amazing! No matter what it is like outside they stick their wellies on, slip on some waterproofs, don a woolly hat and get to work. The steely determination these children exhibit never ceases to amaze us and it just shows what young children are capable of when tested. Do all children show this attitude on day one? No. Some need more time, more support and more encouragement than others but they all get there in the end.
and we were treated to an Abba medley and some Christmas songs! It really was a special night and one we will all remember.
We have lots planned for the rest of the year, including our vegetable garden. The raised beds are no more and we will be trialling lots of different growing methods that will result in higher yield of fruit and veg, and more importantly, more opportunities for our visiting farmers. Being more self-sufficient is the main driving force behind this but also being a supplier to the local community. Children harvesting, weighing and packaging products knowing they will be enjoyed by lots of people gives them such a buzz and feeling of pride.
Through a number of grants and donations we have been able to provide a week of muck and magic to some very deprived schools from London. One school joined us from Battersea and we have never seen a whole group of children so scared and out of their comfort zone as they were. After the first day on Saturday we were unsure if they would get through the week! However, we kept on farming and kept on challenging the children and they absolutely blew us away. It was the last week of December so on the last night our cooks put on a big Christmas dinner
Thanks to the Jewson’s Building Better Communities Award of £50,000, work begins on turning one of our outbuildings into a farm shop and café, which will provide lots of fantastic opportunities for the children as well as generating income from the farm. There is still lots to do but we are excited about this! At the time of writing we are half way through 2017-2018 already and await another 16 schools all ready for a week of muck & magic at Lower Treginnis. We can’t wait to meet them!

Children from Grenfell Tower step away from London for a week at Treginnis Last year we were so proud to be part of a loving community that just wanted to help. Together with the local community in St David’s, Lower Treginnis was able to offer a group of children from Solidarity Sports in London (a London charity which support children from disadvantaged backgrounds) a week on the farm. The charity have brought children to the farm previously, but this year felt different. This year three of the children who were part of Solidarity Sports’ programme died in the fire, and their friends and fellow children were now living with the trauma caused by the fire. Dan saw Solidarity Sports’ social media posts and reached out to them. Thanks to support from the Friends of Treginnis and local businesses in St David’s, these children were offered an amazing week at the farm in October. While city life can become very isolating, we were proud to help these children create some positive, lifelong memories. To see more a fantastic video sharing more about the week, visit youtube.com/watch?v=qPN400neOV8.

A word from the children and teachers
"After this week we would like to be outside more, such as doing gardening or walking the dog. We are going to try new things and work as a team."
“Time on the farms has helped me to realise that you don’t need to watch TV but you can go outside and play.”
12
"We loved being able to dig up what we were eating. Picking things from the garden and having them for tea was really exciting! It made it taste better!"
“It made me realise that to do anything right you have to work hard to achieve it and it hopefully means I will work harder.”
"Communal eating has developed table manners and skills as many of our children rarely sit at a table to eat."
Visiting Schools this year 2017 - 2018
"I can't wait for the next group to come and have as much fun as we did!"
“The children with behavioural and/or learning difficulties really grew in confidence and felt successful in what they were doing.”
“We love the wide range of activities where all can succeed and feel self-worth. Eating together and chatting like a family around a table is a new experience for some children. Children feel valued for who they are, not what they can do.” 13
Peter and June are thinking ahead… Peter and June Lloyd have supported Farms for City Children for many years. We recently chatted to June about why they support our work and why they have pledged to support us in the future with a Gift in their Will.
& QA
Where did you first hear about Farms for City Children? We first heard about the charity back in the 1980s when someone mentioned the wonderful work. My husband was brought up next to a farm and my father always encouraged us to explore and took us out to the countryside so we both know just how important it is for children to connect with the countryside.
Why did you decide to leave a gift to us in your Will? We both feel that the opportunities offered by Farms for City Children will be even more important in the future with more buildings and more children in growing cities and towns and as a result, connections to the countryside will decrease. We love that fact that we can help children and young people to get out in the countryside – not just looking but actually being involved. We have always been inspired by the Morpurgos and the way they have put their heart and soul in to the charity. That passion comes across and we have never felt any pressure to give which makes it a real pleasure.
14
How did you go about making that decision? There are a few charities that we are keen on so when we wrote our Will we made sure we looked after our family and then included support for a couple of them – Farms for City Children was top of our list! Having recently moved back out to the countryside after thirty years of living in the city we began to appreciate again just what a difference time out here can make!
Why give to charity in your Will rather than now? You never know what will happen in the later years of your life and therefore how much money you’re going to need – care costs can be very expensive and we need to make sure we can be looked after properly should that need arise. By making the decision to remember Farms for City Children in our Will we know that we can cover what we and the family need safe in the knowledge that what’s left will be making a world of difference after we’re gone. What difference do you think your donation will make to Farms for City Children? We’ve read so many wonderful stories over the years of how children have had such incredible experiences that shape their futures. One story in particular sticks in our mind of a boy who visited the farm but had never spoken and then was found in the stables talking to the horse! Then a couple years ago a friend’s daughter visited one of the farms with her school from London and she couldn’t stop raving about all she’d seen and done – she was thrilled to have experienced so much freedom and got muddy and dirty!
Need to write a Will? You can do it for free! Thanks to a new partnership with McClure Solicitors we are delighted to offer all our supporters the opportunity to write or review their Will for free. McClure have offices right across the UK and you can make an appointment by calling their Freephone number - 0800 852 1999 or by visiting www.mcclure-solicitors.co.uk If you have any questions about supporting Farms for City Children with a gift in your Will do contact our Development Director, Paul Courtney 01392 276381 or email him on paul@farmsforcitychildren.org
Why did you tell us that you were leaving a gift in your Will? You mentioned letting the charity know so we thought we would – it doesn’t change anything but it’s nice to know that the charity knows we are part of the future.

Your support You have been taking part in all sorts of events in aid of Farms for City Children, and we are so thankful! Your fundraising efforts have not gone unnoticed, and while we can’t mention everyone, here are just a few snippets of what you have been up to. Most importantly, THANK YOU for all you are doing to enable children to have an unforgettable week of muck and magic!
A number of schools took part in our very first Unplug campaign back in October and it was incredible to hear how it is a real challenge to step away from technology for just one day. We’ll be promoting it again this year so you’ve got plenty of time to think of things to do! Thanks go particularly to Shiplake College and Port Regis School. We launched a partnership with Eversfield Organic in October, who have been supporting us with profits from their delicious Kids Bangers. Children at Nethercott had a go at making the sausages to celebrate the partnership, and then enjoyed them for their dinner! Farmers Markets around London have been flipping pancakes and holding pancake races to fundraise which was great fun! In the same vein, this year the Royal Agricultural University Raising and Giving Society have been making and selling lots of pancakes in aid of us. Anne Payne held a Piano Recital in her home, where she invited friends and family to join her. They enjoyed afternoon tea and a wonderful piano performance by the internationally acclaimed pianist, Luka Okros. Joules fundraised for us in their first Charity Week in September (just after our last newsletter!), with staff getting involved in cake sales, sponsored walks/cycles/rows, and this year they’re aiming to go even further. Joules often donate items we need for the farm, like wellies and bedding, which really helps us keep costs down.
Thomas’s Schools Foundation have fundraised to enable two of their local primary schools to visit Nethercott and Lower Treginnis this year, including a lunch at The Bluebird Café and taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. David Teale, one of our previous Trustees, has created a wonderful Farms for City Children Book Club as part of his website, called Pappeye where profits from the sale of various books are donated to us. Visit www.pappeye.com/ farms-for-city-children to find out more! This seems to be a theme among our supporters as both Jani Chaplin is doing this with her new release, “Radish Robin the Gardener – The Harvest Home”, and Ruth Saberton is also donating royalties from her novel, “Chances”. Mole Valley Farmers in Holsworthy have chosen us as their Charity of the Year, and are organising a number of events to fundraise, including hosting us at the Devon County Show again this year – do look out for us! If your business, community group, society or Young Farmers Club would like to get involved, have a speaker or choose us as charity of the year, that would be fantastic! Please email fundraising@farmsforcitychildren.org or call us on 01392 276381.
Get involved! If you would like more information about supporting Farms for City Children through fundraising, we now have an exciting, new fundraising pack! Have you wanted to raise some money but not sure where to start? Do you need some inspiration or guidance? Just give us a bell on 01392 276381 or email us at fundraising@farmsforcitychildren.org and we can send one out to you. Our fundraising pack has a range of fundraising ideas, advice on where to start, as well as the legal information that’s important to know.

It costs £300 for Farms for City Children to subsidise a place for a child to spend a whole week at one of our farms. This week literally changes the children’s lives. They become more confident, more independent and more responsive in class. If you’re not convinced, have a read of their comments on page 12. You can sponsor a child today by setting up a standing order of just £25 a month.
