I'm raising £1000 to Support Four Incredible Charities with Our Charity Baler!

At A.R. Richards Ltd, we are delighted to continue using our Claas 5300 Quadrant baler, which we proudly received in 2023 from our long-standing partners at Morris Corfield’s, to support our charitable endeavours. This impressive piece of machinery has been invaluable in our work and serves as a beacon of our commitment to giving back to the community. We’re excited to showcase it at the Newport Show to raise funds for the charities once again.
Our beautiful baler is wrapped in the vibrant logos of our chosen charities: Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, Hope House & Ty Gobaith, The Royal British Legion, and The Azaylia Foundation. Each of these causes holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re proud to support them.
For over 40 years, A.R. Richards has been deeply embedded in the farming community. We recognise the challenges our working conditions pose to emergency services. Though we’ve thankfully never needed their assistance, we are eternally grateful for the lifesaving work Midlands Air Ambulance does in our community. Supporting them is our way of saying thank you for their unwavering dedication.
This wonderful children’s charity has long been supported by the ‘Ravens’ at Market Drayton Rugby Club. Witnessing Hope House & Ty Gobaith 's incredible work inspired Andrew Richards, our Chairman and the Rugby Club's Chairman, to make it one of A.R. Richards’ main charities. Hope House’s commitment to helping children and their families is truly inspiring, and we are honoured to aid their mission.
As the UK’s largest Armed Forces charity, the Royal British Legion is vital to towns like Market Drayton, which proudly supports its military heritage. Partnering with local legend and ex-RAF airman ‘Poppy Jim,’ we are dedicated to raising funds and awareness for this essential charity. Their work in supporting veterans and their families is indispensable, and we are proud to contribute to their efforts.
Founded in memory of Azaylia Diamond Cain, The Azaylia Foundation fights childhood cancer and supports children undergoing treatment. We are particularly motivated to support this cause due to our close friends Will Charman, his partner Dionne Eley, and their brave daughter Phoebe-Rose, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at just 2 years old. Their journey has deeply moved us, and we are committed to doing all we can for The Azaylia Foundation and families like theirs.
We invite you to donate, no matter the size, which will make a significant difference. All funds raised will be equally divided among Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, Hope House & Ty Gobaith, The Royal British Legion, and The Azaylia Foundation.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping us make a positive impact in our community. Together, we can support these worthy causes and bring hope to those who need it most.
