Real Stories from Children, Parents & Teachers | Leeds Children’s Charity Impact at Lineham Farm

1 in 4 children in Leeds is growing up in poverty. This video shares powerful, real-life stories from adults who once visited Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm as children, alongside reflections from teachers, parents, and our dedicated team. Together, they explore why Leeds Children’s Charity exists and the lasting impact of residential breaks and outdoor learning experiences for children facing poverty and disadvantage across Leeds. Each year, we support over 3,000 children, helping them experience safety, confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging through time at Lineham Farm. These experiences stay with children long after they leave — shaping memories, building self-belief, and opening up brighter futures. Our work is rooted in one belief: every child deserves the chance to experience childhood as it should be — safe, happy and full of opportunity.
