The Young Farmers' community is facing a funding crisis due to Covid-19. For the first time in 89 years there is a national fundraising campaign to help secure the future of YFCs and a donation through this page will support Hampshire Young Farmers Federation. Please help so that we do not lose vital services for rural young people.
The Coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on HFYFC's funds as we have not been able to hold the usual events and activities which form a large part of our fundraising.
We are calling on support of those who value the work HFYFC do in the community to come together and support the future of our organisation.
Hampshire YFC was originally formed in the 1930’s to create a social club for young people living in the countryside. Today, we have over 200 members between age 10 - 26 across 10 clubs and our function is the same – to provide support & improve opportunities while having fun in a social environment for the younger rural and local community.
Charity is an important aspect of YFC. Hampshire YFC is itself a Charity run by the members, for the members so we raise money for both ourselves and other local charities.
We run a varied calendar of competitions throughout the year including Farm Skills, Stock Judging and Public Speaking & Sports competitions. All members are invited to compete within different age ranges and we offer various classes to cater for the novice to the expert.
Young Farmers is dedicated to improving its member's opportunities as much as possible. Whether it be learning about farming and the countryside through meetings or nationally certified training courses. YFC is committed to offering its members opportunities to go on training courses, historically courses such as Chainsaw training, trailer training and welding have been offered, and these would come with national certification as well. Where possible we look for sponsorship/discounts to reduce the cost for our members.
Hampshire Young Farmers is a great Federation with many supporters and followers, we want to be able to continue to grow and attract new members for years to come.
