TEXATHON · 6 July 2024

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

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Society's JustGiving page.

As part of its 50th anniversary celebrations the Texel Sheep Society will raise funds for the Farm Safety Foundation, better known as Yellow Wellies.

Team Texel - Jeff Aiken, John Yates, Ed Smith, Ailish Ross & Megan Baker will be covering a total of 1974km virtually, over multiple disciplines to meet their target and raise awareness and funds for this important agricultural charity.

Now in its 10th year, The Farm Safety Foundation encourages those in the farming community to think more carefully about both physical and mental health as well as how they undertake tasks on the daily basis.

Both the Texel Sheep Society and Farm Safety Foundation have a major focus on people. While sheep may be the focus of the Society’s members it is the people which make the Society what it is.
