ABOUT US Farms for City Children welcomes over 3,000 primary school children a year to one of our three farms for a week-long stay. By being farmers for a week, children grow in self esteem, self confidence and self worth. Fresh air, purposeful work, taking responsibility, caring for 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.

WELCOME FROM VANESSA FOX, CEO What a fabulous first few months I’ve enjoyed! I could never have imagined just how inspiring it is to be part of an organisation where the mission is to create magic from muck, success is measured in smiles rather than sales, and a joy of discovery underpins the raison d’être. On my first visit to Lower Treginnis squally skies tipped sheets of rain down on me. With its farmyard fringed by huddles of white stone buildings the timelessness of this place is breath-taking. Inside the red-doored barns I met children who were undeterred by the wintry storms and focussed on their tasks; laying out fresh bedding, refilling iced-over water buckets, and serving breakfast to the tribe of nagging nanny goats. The weather was kinder for my first introduction to the majestic Wick Court but the children were just as inspiring. These street-wise, screen-smart city children were gardening in the polytunnel, captivated by feathery green tops that crowned hidden roots and the delicious butternut squashes – vegetables they had only ever seen in plastic supermarket trays, and that would find their way to that evening’s home-reared supper. At Nethercott House, London school children unanimously shouted “Piglets!” when I asked what they enjoyed most about their week, before adding to their excited 1
list with “Donkeys! Cheese making! Herding geese! Cooking! The dairy! Bedtime stories! Playing football!”. There are so many ‘best bits’ to celebrate on all of our farms, not least the space the children find to ‘just be’. With Farms for City Children this next generation of children not only experience the magnificent British countryside and rural life, but also develop new skills and self-belief, forge lifelong friendships, and learn to overcome their fears – all of which is made possible by your generous support – thank you! With best wishes and enjoy the newsletter.
KATH’S STORY Kath Greenwood has been bringing children to Wick Court for more than 10 years and has just retired from St Philomena’s Primary School in Bromley. Kath has taught reception for the last 15 years but loves coming with the groups of Year 5s (aged 9-10) as they become farmers for a week.
Why do you bring Year 5s? We used to bring Year 6s but found that there was already a lot going on in their final year at primary school. By bringing the Year 5s halfway through the year (we always come in February), they were able to make new friends and get to know one another well before their final year at school. Although we are quite a small school (one form entry) it’s amazing how many of the children don’t really know each other even though they have been in the same class for the past 5 years! The week eating, sleeping and working on the farm is an ideal opportunity to get to know each other and form strong bonds!

What’s so special about the farm? The children are initially nervous about a week with no electronics, but by the last day they’re saying they don’t want to go home and they’re thoroughly enjoying themselves. This year particularly the children were playing a lot of chess and teaching one another, which was so special to watch. The friendships grew so quickly and they felt part of a team together. They were very aware that they had to get up and feed the animals in the morning as livelihoods depended on it and they became real grafters. The week takes us back to a basic life which is refreshing, not just for the children, but for the accompanying adults too.
Who comes with the children? I have come to Wick Court for over 10 years, and our Headteacher also comes on the trip now, along with two of our Teaching Assistants. It’s a really good week for the Headteacher to get to know the children better, and also for the children to get to know their Headteacher much better. Even though I’ve just retired, I am planning to return to the farm with the school in February! Are there any children who particularly stick in your memory? Yes, there was one boy who is autistic and has one to one support in school for most of the school day. We worried he might not settle, food would be a big issue (he tended to have the same lunch every day at school) and that he’d really struggle. His mum took time off work to stay in a B&B nearby so that she was close if he needed anything, but by Sunday lunchtime (only two days in), we rang her and told her to just enjoy the week away as he’d settled in, enjoyed the food, and his friends rallied around him to ensure he was ok with every task.
It was amazing to witness a real picture of friendship, teamwork, independence and resilience, and I am so proud of him.
Is there anything from the farm that has had an impact back at school? The children love returning to school and sharing about the trip in their assembly. This also inspires the next year group for all that they will get to do in Year 5. The Headteacher is also keen to explore the possibility of getting a ‘dragon’ – the food waste recycling unit – so the children can see their food waste being recycled and involving it more in the curriculum. We’re also keen to get chickens after seeing chicks hatching each time we’ve been at Wick Court, and we’ve integrated Forest School in to the school, so I’m now Forest School trained and have been leading sessions with our reception class. Have you got a memory that will stay with you as you retire? Definitely. Each morning at the farm I wake the children up by singing ‘Good morning, good morning’ from Singing in the Rain, and that’s become a tradition over the years, so at my final assembly in the summer I was overwhelmed to hear the children all singing ‘Good morning, good morning’ back to me as they wished me well! It was certainly more tuneful than my rendition! These children have all learnt so much from a week at the farm, and I can’t wait to see another group of children grow, develop and build friendships next year.

our gardener and apprentice to get everything planted out – a mammoth task given we were not able to get going until the groundworks were complete. We look forward to scheduling some public events next year to show off all of the hard work.
TIM ROSE, Farm School Manager.
Iddesleigh, Devon
What a busy summer we have had here at Nethercott House! Children from London, Barnstaple and Plymouth helped us bottle feed orphan lambs both here at Nethercott and also over at Bridgetown farm. Two litters of piglets and the hatching of the first few batches of chicks also kept all of our visiting children on their toes. The Victorian Walled Garden Project has also kept us busy, with the walls recapped and new paths laid, followed by the sunken melon house, cold frames and apple cordon arch walkway. Our team of dedicated volunteers has worked tirelessly alongside

Open Farm Sunday on June 10th was a fantastic success. The children from Stillness Junior School in London helped us to get everything ready and we had over 400 members of the public visit the farm. Everyone had a great afternoon enjoying trailer rides, watching the farrier and sheep shearer at work, butter making and cheese sampling with Arla as well as welly wanging and a silage making demonstration. Huge thanks go out to everyone who contributed to this event. Our outdoor theatre event later in June was also a great success. The Handlebards performed Romeo and Juliet on the lawn in front of the house to a very appreciative audience. It was great to break with tradition to hold this event whilst a school were in residence - the pupils from Alfred Salter Primary School enjoyed every minute of it. Watch this space for news of next year’s performance!
LOWER TREGINNIS NEWS DAN JONES, Farm School Manager. St David’s, Pembrokeshire 2017-2018 was Lower Treginnis’ busiest year to date with 33 schools visiting including a group of children affected by Grenfell Tower. For a farm at the most westerly point of Wales, it is incredible how many lives we touch from all over the country. This year we have welcomed many new schools and to see the children and staff being blown away by all the new experiences they encounter is great to witness and reinforces what a special place Lower Treginnis is. We’ve also opened the farm gates to the public on Open Farm Sunday and the Friends of Treginnis Summer Fête. We have expanded our growing operation and have trialled growing vegetables on a field scale rather than in raised beds. This has worked well, we have been far more productive and it has provided a lot more activities for the visiting children. We have planted 1,500 pumpkin plants and have wheel barrowed all the horse muck inbetween the rows to act as a mulch. One of the boys from a Swindon school couldn’t get over this and kept saying, “I can’t believe I’m shovelling poo on a Saturday afternoon in the sun. I’d normally be playing my Nintendo at this time!” He absolutely loved it and worked solidly for an hour. Seeing a whole row full of poo, that he shovelled himself made this boy feel fantastic! And the best part is that we really did need that row mulched so the job he did really did matter. Knowing that he 6
has genuinely helped Lower Treginnis, and saved hours of weeding over the summer, is a superb feeling and one he can take back to Swindon with him. This is the key to what we do at Farms for City Children - giving children these purposeful and important jobs and showing them that we trust, need and appreciate what they do. Our livestock continue to be as popular as ever with children amazed by the size of a pig, the aggression of a goose, or the curiosity of a goat. When trying to herd the goats into the paddock we were having trouble with a two-week-old kid who became separated from his mum. The children were trying to pick him up to put him back with mum but lacked the confidence to handle a live animal. Just as we were giving up hope one of the boys came along, picked up Lucky the kid and reunited him with his mother. This boy had never had success in school and even came to the farm with a warning of possible behavioural problems. These potential issues evaporated in an instant and he was top amongst his peers. What a feeling and what a memory! We are now looking forward to 2018-2019 where we will no doubt see many stories like these and will be pushing Lower Treginnis forward once more to give children a fantastic week of muck and magic!
Are you near Lower Treginnis? Dan and his brilliant team are now selling their chutneys and jams locally (which have been very popular). Everything is made on the farm, and we’re ensuring nothing goes to waste. Why not give Lower Treginnis a call on 01437 720840 and order yours today?

many events and activities that have been part of the Wick Court story so far.
WICK COURT NEWS HEATHER TARPLEE, Farm School Manager. Arlingham, Gloucester
The celebrations culminated with a hog roast – two Old Spot pigs carefully reared and tended by the children, pizzas from the new outdoor oven, Wick Court cider and perry and the fabulous Handlebards who cycled in to join the party and perform their unique version of Twelfth Night to a large crowd enjoying the evening sunshine in the orchard. It was a perfect way to thank everyone who has helped us through the first 20 years and to officially launch the “Friends of Wick Court”, our local supporters’ group.
We couldn’t have had a more perfect day for our 20th Anniversary celebrations! The sun shone, the place looked stunning – the children had been busy weaving willow decorations, picking and arranging flowers, tidying, making bunting, and creating and decorating an amazing Wick Court houseshaped cake.
Meanwhile the school that visited after the party were invited to Berkeley Show where 7 intrepid but inexperienced children entered the Young Handler class with our sheep (which they had only met the day before!). They all did brilliantly and really looked the part in their new, shiny white coats donated by Hartpury College.
Sir Michael and Lady Morpurgo were joined by special guest and local celebrity Adam Henson, who came to share his passion for educating about farming, Gloucestershire and especially rearing native breeds (things obviously very close to our hearts here at Wick Court). Other guests included staff past and present, teachers, funders, volunteers, friends, neighbours and supporters. We even had two young women who both visited the farm in the very early days when they were 9 and 10, one now an actor and one a teacher in Gloucestershire.
As I write, the hay is made and in the barn, the gardens are cropping beautifully, (although a drop of rain would be handy!), the bees are busy foraging, the eggs have all hatched and the stock is out in the fields - these beautiful, long summer days are just lovely here on the farm and surely help make memories of muck and magic that these children will never forget.
The children from Adamsrill Primary in Lewisham, a school which has visited us for 40 years, took guests on guided tours of the house, farm and garden. We also held an exhibition of photos and memories from the previous 20 years (oh how things have changed!) and we displayed a beautiful new picture by local artist Jane Fryer depicting so 8

TELLING IT AS IT IS! We think the children and teachers say it best... Hear from some of those who have stayed with us over the last few months:
10
On the farm I get to have a story at bedtime and then go to bed and straight to sleep whereas at home, I just stay in my bedroom and watch TV. I CAN’T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY MADE BREAD! I don’t eat any fresh food at home, but I eat lots of fresh food at the farm.
11
IT WAS GREAT TO MAKE MY OWN DINNER AND ACTUALLY COOK RATHER THAN JUST REHEATING FOOD.
Nethercott has been a point of reference for supporting vulnerable pupils with their emotional development, particularly with reference to resilience and ability.
Why UNPLUG? 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! “I’m going to spend less time on technology because there’s more to life!” {quote from a child on the farm}
UNPLUG Our UNPLUG campaign was so popular in 2017 that it’s back again this October! UNPLUG is all about spending one day away from your screens—whether that be your phone, your tablet, computer or your TV.
So why not join us and UNPLUG for a day during October and ask your friends and family to sponsor you? And that sponsorship money will go towards subsidising the 3,000 children that visit us each year for a full week’s stay on a farm. Farms for City Children subsidises 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 by UNPLUGGING for the day, you will be providing the opportunity for a child to have a week of muck and magic on one of our three farms! Shiplake College was the first school to get involved and students were encouraged to

take part on mufti day and donate £2. This is what they said about their screen free day.
the convenience of the internet to research particular topics.
“On the 6th October 2017, over 400 students and nearly 100 staff from Shiplake College attempted to ‘switch off’ for an entirely technology free day.
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the ‘switch-off’ challenge was not finishing the school day to a full inbox of emails. All communication between staff and students had to be made in person!
This was a big challenge for everyone as staff had to abandon their PowerPoint presentations in favour for more traditional methods of teaching. Some teachers used this opportunity to explore outdoor learning, whilst lessons in Modern Foreign Languages consisted of singing along to well-known French songs. The technology free day extended to our prep and study sessions, which required students to think beyond
Overall, it was an enjoyable yet challenging experience that has taught us to rely less on technology and to speak more to each other in person. Let’s hope it continues.”

Gift Aid Explained Did you know that your donations can go even further with Gift Aid? Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim back the basic rate tax already paid on the donations you make.

You must pay an amount in Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax that is equal to or greater than the Gift Aid that all the charities you give to we will reclaim in the tax year (from 6 April to 5 April of the following year). Inheritance Tax, Council Tax and VAT do not qualify towards Gift Aid.
How do I know if I pay UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax? You pay these taxes if: • Income Tax is taken from your wages or salary before you receive your pay. • You pay tax after filing a self-assessment form each year.
15
• You have taxable savings (in building society, for instance), or a pension plan or investment income. • You have paid any Capital Gains Tax for example on the sale of a property or some shares. Remember - Inheritance Tax, Council Tax and VAT do not qualify for Gift Aid.

A gift of Muck and Magic Please will you join with us to change a child’s life? Every child’s visit to Farms for City Children is subsidised by at least £300, over half the true cost of their week-long stay on the farm. Your support can give children the opportunity to plant seeds, harvest fruit and vegetables and eat a homecooked meal for the first time. With more and more children not knowing where their food comes food (or not even knowing how to use a knife and fork!) this is so important for their future. A big part of their stay with us is sitting around the dinner table together for every meal and talking with one another about their day – their challenges and their achievements. Your gift could fill their plates with scrumptious food and the air of the dining rooms with excited chatter! A perfect end to each day before going to bed, tired and ready to dream of all the new experiences on the farm.
“For one child, their favourite thing was to have a shower, followed by a bedtime story and someone putting them to bed. They’d never had a bedtime story before. “ A gift of £25 could pay for new story books and board games for the children to read and play as they settle down for the evening. A gift of £50 could pay for comfy pillow cases and duvet sets for a dorm full of sleepy children. A gift of £100 could help fill plates with home cooked meals throughout the day fuelling new experiences and tickling taste buds. A special gift of £300 could provide a child with the opportunity to have a week of muck and magic on one of our three farms. More and more people are choosing to remember Farms for City Children with a gift in their Will, ensuring there are many more years of muck and magic. If you would like to talk about the difference a gift in your Will could make,please call Paul Courtney on 01392 276381 or email paul@farmsforcitychildren.org 20
