TURFPRO'S SISTER TITLE RAISES £3.5K FOR FARMS FOR CITY CHILDREN

TurfPro is proud to announce that our sister title, Service Dealer, has presented a cheque for £3428.50 to Farms For City Children.

The money was raised for the charity that enables children from disadvantaged communities to experience life on a farm in the heart of the British countryside, at the Service Dealer Awards dinner on November 25th.

The money was raised through a raffle that was won by Charlie Turner of dealership Sam Turner and Sons. His prize is a box of treats from the kitchen garden at Farms for City Children’s Devon farm. These winter vegetables, fruits and herbs have been grown by visiting children as they learn about sowing, growing, harvesting and cooking with fresh produce. The prize will also include a bottle of Bollinger, a half dozen free range eggs, and a set of eleven books written and signed by the charity’s founder and beloved children’s author Sir Michael Morpurgo.

TurfPro & Service Dealer owner Duncan Murray-Clarke said, "Raising almost £3,500 for such a worthwhile charity is awesome! I'd like to thank everyone who contributed so generously at our Awards dinner - and congratulations to Charlie of course!"

Farms For City Children say that many of the children who visit the farms have never left their city or experienced life on a working farm. Growing such beautiful vegetables helps them to grow confidence and, alongside the other activities they enjoy at the farm, broaden their horizons too.
