Story
Our charity for 2012 is Farms for City Children
We’re lucky enough to live and work in glorious Devon and many of our customers enjoy getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life to spend time in the beautiful West Country. We sincerely believe just being in the countryside is good for you. With that in mind, Helpful Holidays has again chosen to support Farms for City Children as its charity of the year.
The charity's aim is to enrich the lives of children from urban areas, who may not know where their food comes from and have limited opportunities to explore the outdoor world, by giving them the chance to spend a week living and working on a real farm in the heart of the countryside. It is an intense, 'learning through doing' experience of a different life. The charity now has three working farms which welcome around 3,000 children and 400 teachers a year.
Helpful Holidays is proud to support Farms for City Children as our charity for 2012 and we hope you'll help us spread the word about this wonderful charity and the excellent work it does. They and we would appreciate contributions, however small, to their cause.
