As it Mental health awareness week I decided to do something to raise awareness of mental health problems in farming and hopefully raise a little cash for FCN to help their work. Farmers are under enormous pressures at the moment and are largely ignored, which only exacerbates the problems

I am going to attempt to lose a stone (6.35kg) in a month. In order to do this I will need to eat a lot less. For every Kg I lose i will donate £10.If anyone wants to donate that would be wonderful, but it would be amazing if more of you would rise to the challenge with me and lose that spare flesh!!. Think what we could raise while getting healthier!! It could be as much or as little as you like (both money and weight target), but if anyone else joins me, Ill double my donations to £20/kg. Now there's a challenge

To be the first port of call for pastoral and practical support of all those in need in the farming community, with a particular focus on farmers and farming families.
