RABI Farmers Aid
Proud sponsor of Farm Safety Award
Real time guidance for serious on-farm accidents. Clear step-by-step instructions to follow while emergency services are on the way.
When serious on-farm accidents occur, the first few minutes can shape the outcome. Distance, terrain and access often delay the arrival of emergency services, meaning the people already on site are usually the first to respond.
FarmersAid is a long-term initiative from RABI designed to strengthen emergency preparedness across the farming community.

The Farming Community Network
Proud Charity Partner
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. The charity is founded on Christian principles and we are here to support people of all faiths and none. We help to build thriving communities, encourage resilience and help farming people to explore their options.
Why does FCN exist?
Farming is not just a job – it’s a way of life. It is a wonderful industry to work in, but it can also be inherently risky and volatile. Farmers are regularly forced to deal with issues on the farm that are beyond their control, such as animal disease, fluctuating market prices and the weather. Farming can also be a very isolating and lonely occupation, with farmers often spending long hours out in the field with little or no form of social interaction.
We have a network of over 400 volunteers across 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 that farmers, farm workers and farming families regularly face. Our volunteers provide free, confidential, pastoral support to anyone who seeks help, regardless of whether the issue is personal or business-related.
In addition to local groups of volunteers providing in-person support, FCN runs a confidential national helpline (03000 111 999) and e-helpline (help@fcn.org.uk) which is open every day of the year from 7am-11pm.

The Ethical Butcher
Proud Sponsor of Regenerative Farmer of the Year
We are on a mission to reconnect people with nature. We believe that as a society we have become far too disconnected from our food and the land it comes from. Everything we're about ties together, naturally. The way our farmers manage their animals affects the flavour of the meat they produce as well as their impact on the environment. It's not just about eating good food. It's about knowing where it comes from and how your choices impact both people and planet.
