When children come to visit our farms, they spend the week without televisions, mobile phones, tablets—there are no screens at all. The children have the time and freedom to explore the outdoors, spend time together and learn new skills. We would love more children to experience time without their screens, and adults too!

What we’re asking is that you get your friends and family to sponsor your UNPLUG day, whether it is a weekday or a Saturday or Sunday in October. Your sponsorship money will be making the world of difference for the 3,200 children that visit us each year for a full week's stay on a farm.

Farms for City Children subsidise each child’s visit by at least £300. This is over half the true cost of a week’s stay. If you can raise £300, you will be securing funding for a child to have a full week of muck and magic on one of our three farms!

How to get involved:

1. Choose a day in October to UNPLUG.

2. Register online via this JustGiving page.

3. Download the UNPLUG pack from our website.

4. Ask your friends and family to sponsor you

5. Enjoy taking part in the UNPLUG day!

6. Get in touch and let us know what you did on your UNPLUG day. You can contact us at fundraising@farmsforcitychildren.org.

7. Collect any outstanding sponsorship money and send the funds raised to Farms for City Children either by the JustGiving page or a cheque sent to our head office in Exeter or by BACS to our bank account (details on the sponsorship form).

8. We will let you know how much the whole UNPLUG campaign has raised and the difference your sponsorship money has made to the lives of inner-city children.

9. Last but not least, thank you for supporting Farms for City Children!
