London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

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.

Story

On the 23rd of April I will be running the London Marathon on behalf of Yellow Wellies, a charity dedicated to building awareness of safety on farms and farmers mental health. 

Having worked on farms and with farming from an early age, I am all too familiar with what farmers face on a day to day and the challenges they face.

While UK farmers are among the best in the world, farming remains one of the country’s most hazardous industries; accounting for 1% of workers but 20% of all worker fatalities.

Please dig deep folks and give what you can via my just giving page! I’ll keep you updated over the next  month or so with the pain I put myself through leading up to this marathon! 

Many thanks, 

Tom
