The recent pandemic has, unsurprisingly, affected a wide cross section of our community. Read our article on what Covid-19 has meant to the charity and how we are adapting to the situation.
Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm is dedicated to brightening children’s lives by providing unforgettable breaks and valuable learning experiences. We work with the most disadvantaged children in the city, offering them respite from difficult, and sometimes abusive, home lives. A break at Lineham Farm is filled with adventure, fun and learning in a safe and happy environment – it’s childhood as it should be.
Our unforgettable breaksVictim of abuse
Tom is the son of a single mother who turned to alcohol abuse when she lost her job. They live in poverty, in a cramped house; he sleeps on the floor and lives in constant fear of his mother’s next drunken rage. Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm gave Tom some much-needed respite in a safe, inclusive and fun environment.

We are delighted to announce the merger of Lineham Farm with Leeds Children's Charity which will create a much stronger offering to support the underprivileged children of Leeds.
Although Covid-19 has sadly meant we have had to stop delivery of our service, it has provided us with an opportunity to improve and upgrade our facilities at the farm.
It’s no surprise that in over 100 years, we’ve supported over 100,000 children, and we have no plans to slow down. In an ideal world, a service such as ours would not be needed, but until that day, we’ll keep supporting the most disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Leeds. We know that our work benefits the individual children but also has a positive impact on the wider community too.

Our work with disadvantaged children would not be possible without the kindness and generosity of local companies and individuals. Every contribution of money, time or skill is greatly appreciated and can make a huge impact on a child’s life.
Take on the Yorkshire three peaks, run the Abbey Dash or organise a local cake sale. Not only will you raise money for a fantastic cause, but you can set yourself a personal challenge, do some team-building or just have some fun at the same time.
