Fundraising for FARMS FOR CITY CHILDREN

raised of £500 target

We give children a week on working farms to raise self esteem and confidence.

Story

On Wednesday 19th April Sustainable Trading and TRAFiX, supported by BMO and in partnership with The Trade, will lead a group of intrepid cyclists as they return to London from TradeTech Paris! We are raising money for Farms for City Children, a charity who enable children from underserved and disadvantaged urban communities to visit the countryside and experience life on the farm. Research has shown that time spent in nature positively impacts children's wellbeing and can result in greater protections for the natural environment (source: The Wildlife Trusts), and we are delighted to be supporting them.

About the charity

Founded in 1976 by children's writer Michael Morpurgo and wife Clare. A weeks stay on one of our working farms aims to develop potential, build self-esteem and enrich the lives of 3,200 children from inner cities, and towns annually. Many are disadvantaged and some have special educational needs.
