Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

This year I will be running the rat race this year for the charity yellow wellies uk. The rat race is a 20 mile course containing 200 obstacles designed to test all capabilities

I have chosen to support the farm safety foundation as it is vital that we get the messages across about mental health in the agriculture industry. Yellow wellies are doing some amazing work towards breaking the stigma about mental health and working in agriculture myself it’s something close to me!

Farming can be pretty stressful and lonely at times and the suicide rate is climbing! more than one agricultural worker/farmer commits suicide every single week and it’s people aged 20-34 that it’s at its highest!

About the charity

The Farm Safety Foundation

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1159000
Rising concern over the continuing high level of fatal and life-changing injury accidents on farms prompted NFU Mutual to set up a charitable foundation to help all farmers, and especially young farmers, work more safely. The Foundation works closely with farmers, the farming unions and a range of farming organisations, including the Farm Safety Partnerships of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, to help reduce the toll of fatal and serious injury accidents which, regrettably, have made farming the most dangerous occupation in the UK. The Foundation's 'Yellow Wellies' campaign specifically targets young farmers aged 16 to 40 years of age.
