Where you can meet us at agricultural shows and auction marts this summer
If you see us, please come and say hello. Whether you want to pick up information for yourself, a family member, a friend or a colleague, we're happy to have a chat and help point you towards organisations that understand farming life.
We'll also be sharing information about mental health awareness training offered through the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI). It helps people recognise the signs that someone may be struggling and understand how to help them access support.
