We’re delighted to share some very special news…
Jason Manford has officially been named as President of the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT), marking a significant new chapter for our Cheshire-based charity.
In a special ceremony held at our 10-acre site, the symbolic ‘baton’ was presented to Jason by the family of our former President, the late Sir Bobby Charlton, who sadly passed away in 2023. Sir Bobby served as President of CAFT for an extraordinary 23 years and was a tireless champion of our mission to support children and families facing the toughest challenges.
Jason has been a Patron of CAFT since 2009 and during that time has helped to raise in excess of £150,000. He regularly gives his time to meet families and experience first-hand the impact of our work.
“It’s such an honour to take on the role of President of the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust. Sir Bobby Charlton was not only a sporting legend but a true champion for children and families going through unimaginably difficult times. To follow in his footsteps is something I don’t take lightly.
I’ve seen first-hand the magic CAFT creates, giving children the chance to laugh and simply be children. I’m immensely proud to continue supporting this remarkable charity.”
“Jason has been an unwavering supporter of CAFT for many years. He understands our charity, our families and the difference our work makes. We are absolutely delighted that he has accepted the role of President.
Sir Bobby’s legacy at CAFT is special and we know Jason will carry that legacy forward with warmth, energy and a deep commitment to the children and families we support.”
We are incredibly grateful for Jason’s continued commitment and look forward to this exciting new chapter together.
