National Three Peaks · 19 June 2021

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 Saturday 19th June I am aiming complete the National three peaks challenge climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdown in 24 hours to raise money for Yellow Wellies/Farm Safety Foundation.

Yellow wellies is an independent charity aiming to change the next generation of farmers attitudes to risk-taking and mental health. 

Mental health in particular is close to myself and majority of farming families hearts. This past year even though day to day farming may not have changed it has made working in agriculture possibly even more isolating at times, contributing to poor mental health. Reducing the stigma around talking about this with friends, families or reaching out to charities is key to help those in need. 

Your contribution will allow Yellow Wellies to continue their work with YFC and other organisations to reduce the toll of injuries and fatalities which bring heartbreak to numerous families and rural communities every year.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I aim to keep you updated during the challenge!
