ststement of Recommended Practice 8pplicable to charities preparingtheir accounts in

The Charity's objects are to advance the education ot school children in the subjects of farming.
food production. biodiversity, the rural economy and the studyof the environment and ecology
generally.
In the year the charity aimed to further its objectives by undertaking a programme of school
visits through the FarmLink educational programme. The ￿Sits are (Jelivered by our partner
farms.
This enables schools to deliver the areas of the national curriculum relating to farming, food
production. biodwersity. the rural economy and the study of the environment and ecology
through a series of visits.
During this peTiod. we engaged with 30.120 children with just over 9,000 children getting on to
the farms: this shows a good increase from the previous year.
However. we have found that the strategy of the host farms has increased the number of the
children visiting larms onty moderately.
We need to go into the schools localto each farm and whilst our host faims ale happy to have
the schools visitingthe farm. the farmefs Oo not have the time to go into the schools and
develop a relationship.
Tim is looking 8t the viattility of contracting the services of two more deliverers to go into the
schools to deliver workshops and encourage the teachers to Corne out on tofaim$.
The renovation of the classioom at Lower Stock has gone well and the redesigned space is
much more user friendly and being used 8 lot more. We do need to increase the number of
resources within the classroom.
