The Royal Countryside Fund's Farm for the Future Programme Returns for 2023/24
The Royal Countryside Fund, an organisation dedicated to supporting farming and rural communities, has announced the return of its Farm for the Future programme for the 2023/24 season. This initiative, which has been praised by numerous farming families, offers free environmental and business skills training to help farmers plan for the future with confidence.
Established in 2010 by HM King Charles III, the Royal Countryside Fund is the only UK-wide charity focused on the unique issues facing farming and rural communities. Over the years, it has invested over £11.4 million in nearly 500 rural community-led projects and supported over 2,500 farming families through its farming programmes.
The 2023/24 Farm for the Future programme is being run in partnership with Pasture for Life and will be available in East Anglia and the east Midlands. The programme is designed with a focus on people and their welfare, reflecting the values of the Royal Countryside Fund.
Participants can expect a variety of workshops, including those on business efficiency, environmental schemes, opportunities to meet the local farming community, bespoke workshops tailored to individual interests, and ongoing one-to-one support. One of the programme's highlights is the engaging and informative speakers, as commended by a 2022 participant, Laura.
Laura described the programme as fantastic and recommended it to other farmers. She particularly praised the programme coordinator, Christina Hutchings, for her dedication and the valuable insights provided by the speakers.
The Royal Countryside Fund acts as a catalyst for change and develops resilience, working with local partners to deliver bespoke programmes of support. Interested farmers can find their local group on the Royal Countryside Fund's website (www.royalcountrysidefund.org.uk/farmforthefuture).
Registration for the 2023/24 programme is closing soon. For more information and to express interest, contact Sarah Juggins at 07812525310 or sarah.juggins@our website.
