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.

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. Funds raised by Society members will be put to good use, helping to support the Foundation’s education programme, its invaluable research and of course campaigns to driver better attitudes to risk-taking and poor mental health in the industry.

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.

To kick off the fundraising activities, the Society will be donating all the entry fees from its Textravaganza National Show to the anniversary fund, with a number of other activities planned for the year to give members the chance to help raise funds in what will be a special year for both organisations
