Corinna brings a wealth of hands-on experience in advocating and supporting vulnerable children, both in the UK and internationally. She has held leadership positions in several renowned child-focused organisations, including Save the Children and Family for Every Child.

Rachel Goult, our Chair of Trustees said:
‘We are delighted to be welcoming Corinna to Farms for City Children to lead our work connecting children and young people with food, farming and nature.  She is passionate champion of children’s inclusion and has an outstanding track record in developing high-performing teams, fundraising and operational leadership.

“We are looking forward to working with Corinna to celebrate the charity’s 50th anniversary and the exciting opportunity it presents to share our vision and development plans for the future”.

Corinna Csaky, our incoming Chief Executive added:
“I am delighted to be the new Chief Executive of Farms for City Children.  As we move towards our 50th year, our organisation remains vital, joyful and ambitious. It supports children across so many areas of their lives– from nutrition and emotional wellbeing to environmental consciousness.  It has the potential to change each child’s trajectory and helps equip the next generation to tackle society’s challenges.

“I strongly believe everyone should experience Farms for City Children and I’m excited to lead our wonderful team, with founders Michael and Clare Morpurgo, into a new era of expansion and outreach of both our farms and our values.”
