In recent years, having lost one too many friends to suicide, and having one too many friends suffer alone with mental illness, I’m running the Manchester Marathon in April ‘25 to raise vital funds for the charity. This will mean they are there to keep supporting the farming community, and my friends should they need it at some point have somewhere to reach out to.

WHAT IS FCN?

The Farming Community Network (FCN) is a voluntary organisation and charity that supports farmers, farming families and people in rural communities through difficult times and periods of change. We help to build thriving communities, encourage resilience and help farming people to explore their options.
