We are Karmen, Elena, Cameron and James, four Professional Trainees at NFU Mutual, and we are excited to announce that we are organising a charity event for the Farmers Insurance Sports and Social Club.

The Farming Community Network (FCN) is a voluntary organisation and charity that supports farmers and families within the farming community through difficult times.

FCN has volunteers located throughout England and Wales, many of whom are involved in farming, or have close links with agriculture and therefore have a great understanding of the issues farm workers and farming families regularly face. Their volunteers provide free and confidential support to anyone who seeks help, regardless of whether the issue is personal or business-related.

In addition to local groups of volunteers, FCN runs a confidential national helpline (03000 111 999, open 7am-11pm every day of the year) and e-helpline (help@fcn.org.uk).

FCN's volunteers will “walk with” anyone who seeks support and help them find a positive way through their problems. Each year they help approximately 6,000 people deal with a variety of issues, including financial difficulties, animal disease, mental health, and family disputes. With British farming facing deep uncertainty in the coming years, the workload of FCN volunteers is expected to increase significantly.

The quiz will start at 5:15 PM. Entry is £3 per person. Please use the "Give Now" button to register your attendance and/or support FCN. Due to the venue size, we can only accommodate 48 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Donations are welcome from all, so please specify on JustGiving whether you would like to attend the quiz or if you are donating to support the charity. Quiz night entries are not eligible for gift aid. If you have any questions about the event, feel free to contact Cameron via cameron_bown@nfumutual.co.uk or Elena via elena_conea@nfumutual.co.uk.
