Children's author Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare mark 50 years of the charity they founded: Farms for City Children.
Farms for City Children was set up by the writer Michael Morpurgo and his wife Clare 50 years ago. They were both young teachers and wanted to help children connect with farming and the countryside. We find out how their vision became a reality and hear from children visiting their farm in Devon.
