Talking to someone who understands the problems and worries in the rural community can give a person hope for the future.
The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution and other supportive farming charities are receiving an increase in calls to the free 24/7 confidential helpline 0800 188 4444.
It can offer financial support, which can be helpful to those in a crisis, or grants to low-income people and emotional support with farming – focused mental health counselling, and self-help click and chat well-being support. Asking ''How are you really doing?' can give you both chance to talk, and then suggest another catch up soon.
The Salopian Ploughing Society have donated £1,000, and RABI’s presence at local shows has continued to raise awareness of the farming charity.Also, next year, save the date of March 20 to enjoy Ludlow Charity Race Day.
