The Country Trust is the UK’s leading national educational charity connecting children from areas of high social and economic disadvantage with the land that sustains us all.
We believe every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet.
Through food, farming and countryside experiences we aim to empower children to be confident, curious and create change in their lives so that they and society can thrive.
The likelihood of children visiting any green space at all has halved in a generation.
