On the 5th of May, five members of Chestnutt Animal Feeds (David, Charlotte, Richard, Kathryn and Aaron) will lace up their running shoes, as they take on the Belfast Marathon relay challenge in aid of Rural Support.

Rural Support provides a listening and signposting service for farmers and farming families across Northern Ireland through its free confidential support-line.

In addition, the charity offers various programmes and mentoring support to help with farming challenges, financial concerns, and personal issues such as bereavement, farm succession and mental health.

Working alongside farmers on a daily basis, we as a company have seen the positive impact Rural Support has, and can have, and therefore any donation, big or small, towards our £1,000 target would be greatly received.
