Farm of Excellence event raises vital funds for Northern Ireland charity

The event saw over 200 farmers and members of the agri sector from across the isle of Ireland in attendance.

Gyles Dawson, Director of Programmes at Rural Support spoke to the participants on the importance of good health and wellbeing for not only the farm business but for the farmer also.

His wise words struck a chord with the audience as they raised £1,105.42 for the local farm support charity.

These vital funds will help farmers and farm families across Northern Ireland who are struggling with financial pressures, mental health issues and bereavement.

Mr Dawson said: “We are very grateful for Foyle Food Group's support and this vital donation which will make a positive impact on the work that we do across the province in support of the farming communities’ business and personal wellbeing”.
