We raise awareness of farm safety to support the farmers of tomorrow.

Story

Postponed for 2019 due to a knee injury - will go for it again in 2020.

This amazing charity is doing such great work to raise awareness and support young people to make the right and often life changing decisions in relation to Health and Safety.  On my numerous visits to our (Landex) member organisations I hear and see the impact they are having, particularly on the next generation of farmers and those going into careers in the land based sector.  However, with more funding they could make even more of a positive impact through their excellent training sessions.  

Check out their website https://www.yellowwellies.org/ to get a full insight into all that they do, read some of the stories and the shocking health and safety statistics for our sector.

Many thanks

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.
