Farms for City Children
Children from Selwyn have been visiting Treginnis Farm in Wales for several years. It is a wonderful residential experience for our older children as they not only spend a week away from home but also learn about farming; caring for animals and a completely contrasting environment. Our staff and children were interviewed by the charity and asked about their time at the farm.
