Brackley Christmas Tractor Run 2023 · 10 December 2023

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

This year will be our third Brackley Christmas Tractor Run and it is now very much a firm favourite in the Brackley Town Council office events calendar.

Once more, we will be raising money for the charity Yellow Wellies, an award-winning charity that supports the physical and mental well being of UK farmers. In 2022, we raised £3,281.00. Incredible! But can we do even better this year, Brackley?

We are asking all local farmers/residents who wish to enter their tractor into the run and decorate with fairy lights/festive decorations and do a loop of Brackley to help support this event. It is FREE to enter your tractor into the run. Tractors will have priority in the run, any other vehicles will be welcome space permitting. The Tractor Run will commence at 18:00. All event details can be found via our website event page here: https://www.brackleynorthants-tc.gov.uk/events-listings/brackley-christmas-tractor-run-1/

Muster instructions will be sent via email to all tractor drivers that sign up. If you have any questions in the mean time, please contact office@brackleynorthants-tc.gov.uk.
